English term or phrase: Handyperson
The **Handyperson** Service provides practical support for people aged 65 and over
who require assistance with tasks in their own home.

这是一份宣传册子,Handyperson Service 是 Home Care Service 里面的一项,开始我想把Handyperson Service 译成“家政服务”,但是觉得从上下文看, Home Care Service 比较像“家政服务”吧, 那么这里的 Handyperson 应该译成什么好呢?觉得“杂工”对于宣传册来说又不够正式。



Handyperson 提供的服务包括:
• Changing fuses
• Changing plugs
• Changing washers
• Hanging curtains
• Changing smoke alarm batteries
• Changing light bulbs
• Internal window cleaning
• Minor household repairs
• Room re-organisation
• Spring cleaning
• Furniture flat pack assembly
• Turning of bed matress

家政(服务)


Explanation:
就其服务内容而言,就是家政服务;即使在同一种语言(英语)中,同一概念有不同表达,也是正常的;两种语言之间,发生所指一对多和多对一的现象,都属于正常
