內容：councillor & counsellor
⑴
councillor [ˈkaʊnsələ] n[C] a member of a council
注意美式英语的拼写：councilor
Council的含义很多，“市镇议会”只是其中一个义项。我们可以根据具体语境将councilor翻译成委员、理事、议员等。
⑵
counsellor [ˈkaʊnsələ] n[C] ① 顾问，辅导员，咨询师；② 律师
注意美式英语的拼写：counselor
Counsellor有律师的意思，可以作为称呼语。例如：
Avery Tolar: What led you to law school?
Mitch McDeere: I can’t remember.
Avery Tolar: Sure you can, counselor.
Avery Tolar: We put you into deals with other clients who may not wish to expose their relationships to outside attorneys.
Sonny: You hear that, Counsellor, that’s a veiled threat.
选自1993年的影片the Firm (Aha! a telltale sign)
