A regulator can be a person or a group.Watchdog is often used in journalism as a more informal term for regulator, but a watchdog does not have to be an official organization (and cannot just be one person). It places the emphasis on protecting the rights of people who use a service, rather than the rights of individual companies within the industry. A consumer group is an unofficial watchdog. * regulator属于官方性质,通常由政府任命,职责是确保公司行号公平竞争,没有违法经营且尊重人们的权利。regulator可以是个人,也可以是团体。watchdog常用于新闻报道中,是regulator较为非正式的说法,但watchdog不一定是官方组织,且不可能只是一个人。watchdog强调的是保护使用某种服务的人的权利,而非行业内各公司的权利。consumer group是非官方的watchdog。■monitorˈmɒnɪtə(r); NAmEˈmɑːnɪtər [countable] a person whose job is to check that sth is done fairly and honestly, especially in a foreign country(尤指派往国外的)监督员,核查员◆UN monitors declared the referendum fair.联合国核查员宣布这次全民公决是公正的。 see also monitor ⇨ monitorverb
