English term

teller

English to Chinese Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) CIO
What it'll take to get there is dedication. Many CIOs bring back tidbits from informal encounters with customers outside the office. "I heard from my neighbor that our bank's branch in town could really use a Spanish-speaking teller..." That's helpful, but limited. To be most valuable, collecting customer intelligence must be a sustained and focused effort that permeates not just the IT group but the whole company, says Michael Capone, CIO of Automatic Data Processing (ADP), a $9.9 billion human resources and payroll provider.
出纳员?还是自动取款机?

Jinhang Wang Feb 24, 2012:
应该是 出纳员。
William He Feb 24, 2012:
呵呵,如果这样的话,就要根据语境了!
clearwater (asker) Feb 24, 2012:
这个站不住脚。因为use也完全可以表示“雇用”的意思。
William He Feb 24, 2012:
我感觉指人的话,不应该用use吧,呵呵,这样的话真有点过分!
Fang Huang Feb 24, 2012:
我更倾向于觉得这里是指的真人,应该是出纳员。

agree Oceanwide : 也叫“柜员机”。从有限的上下文来看,这是IT人员带来的其他银行信息,这儿所关注的也是别人采用了什么先进技术。另外,如果这个资料是有关美国的公司,那讲西班牙语的出纳,根本就算不得什么新鲜事,因西语是美国第二大语言,很多人都会讲,讲西语的出纳或服务员有的是。。

银行柜台(窗口)出纳员

Tellers, it seems to me, refer only to employees in a bank. And in the passage given by Clearwater, a teller is obviously a person, not a machine (even if machines now do much of the work a human teller does).
I put 窗口 in parentheses because that term is also often used.

A check in dictionaries (such as Collins Cobuild, Merrian-Webster, Far EASt English-Chinese) specified (asnd implied) that a teller works with a bank, and at a teller window.

Note from asker:
teller本身也有“自动取款机”的意思。
