- secretary作“部長,大臣”解時,首字母大寫。
- secretary常和介詞to或of連用,表示“的秘書”。接人時常用to,接物時常用of。
- secretary作名詞，特指某一職位時，前面不加冠詞a，后跟介詞to，He is secretary to the Governor. 他是政府官員的一名秘書。
- 在英國，Secretary of State指各部的大臣，可以有很多個，而在美國則是表示“國務(wù)卿”，只有—個。英國的各個Secretary of State，可簡稱為Secretary，如Foreign Secretary等同于Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs。美國的Secretary of State沒有簡稱，但其各部部長稱為Secretary。
