Usually a mediator is involved in a discussion where the opposing people or groups meet to try to settle their dispute. The role of the mediator is to try to help the discussions. An intermediary is often involved in a situation where the two people or groups do not want to meet and the role of the intermediary is to act as a neutral person who can pass messages between them. * mediator和intermediary可发挥相近的作用。mediator通常参与对立的人或群体为解决争端而举行的会谈,其作用是设法协助双方进行商讨。而intermediary一般会在某两个人或群体不想会面的情况下介入,充当在两者之间传递信息的中立者。■arbitratorˈɑːbɪtreɪtə(r); NAmEˈɑːrbɪtreɪtər [countable] (ratherformal) a person who is chosen to settle a dispute仲裁人;公断人◆Where no agreement can be reached, the matter will be referred to an independent arbitrator.如果无法达成协议,此事将提交给一位独立的仲裁员裁决。■ˈgo-between [countable] a person who takes messages between one person or group and another中间人◆A number of local church leaders have acted as go-betweens with the paramilitaries.几位地方教会领袖已担任那些非法军事组织之间的中间人。■peacemakerˈpiːsmeɪkə(r) [countable] a person who tries to persuade people or countries to stop arguing or fighting and to make peace调解人;调停人◆She always acted as the peacemaker when family arguments boiled over.家里爆发争吵时,她总是充当和事老。■liˈaison officer [countable] a person whose job is to make sure that there is a good relationship between two groups of people or organizations联络人◆The council has a number of community liaison officers.政务委员会有数名社区联络人。
