Re: [問題] agent v.s. special agent?

[cwy0317 (make it so)]

看wiki的時候看到special agent這個條目點進去看

發現他的定義是這樣的

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_agent

"Special agent is usually the title for a detective or investigator for a
state, county, municipal, federal or tribal government.
A special agent is not a "spy" (i.e. secret agent), but an investigator.
An agent is a worker for any federal agency, and a secret agent is one who
works for an intelligence agency."

這樣看來

只要是在聯邦層級中稱為agency單位工作的公務員就是agent、

special agent是專責調查(未必是犯罪調查)、譯為「探員」應該是最貼切的

secret agent則是為情報組織工作的
