Port Lympne Reserve, which runs a breeding programme, haswelcomed the arrival of a rare black rhino calf . When the tiny creaturearrived on January 31, she becamethe 40th black rhino to be born at the reserve. And officials at Port Lympnewere delighted with the new arrival, especially as black rhinos are known forbeing difficult to breed in captivity .

上面一段摘自2021年高考考试英语全国卷Ⅱ阅(甲卷)阅读理解B。请问其中的official怎么样理解与翻译。查词典,offical有两个意思,一是表示“高级员工;官员”,二是表示“(体育比赛中的)执法人,裁判员”,但它们用在上面的语境中都说不通。请专家老师指点!

你的质疑是有道理的,但问题不是出在这道高考考试题,而是出在国内英语词典对official的翻译,official 的英文解释是a person who hasa position of authority in a company, organization, or government: a person whoholds an office(摘自韦氏高阶),相应的双解词典的翻译“高级员工”“官员”,将它来直译你的句子中确实有的不妥。不过变通一下,可以考虑将 official 可理解为“员工”,即:林普尼港的员工对这只新生的黑犀牛感到特别高兴……

又如:

He blew his TOPafter airport officials refused to let him on a plane. 机场员工拒绝让他登机之后,他勃然大怒。

Ar the airport,Customs officials inspected my purse and hand luggage. 在飞机场,海关的员工仔细检査了我的手袋和手提行李。

Two officialskeep time in champiomhip games. 两个员工为锦标赛计时。

The airportofficials put me through the wringer by questioning me for hours and searchingin my bags. 机场员工盘查我达败小时,并搜査了我的行李,对我进行刁难。

It was not until Fridaymorning that highway officials announced that tolls on those roads would besuspended. 直到周五早上,高速公路员工才宣布这类路段的收费将暂缓。
