人力资源 / Employment reference | | German德语词条或短语： Anlaufstelle | From a reference for an engineer. The problem is more about a snappy formulation in English than about the meaning, which is clear enough.
"Er bildete eine wichtige Anlaufstelle für viele Kollegen...".
I suppose you could say "for many colleagues, he was someone to turn to", or something like that. Any better suggestions? |
| | 写给提问者或来自提问者的留言Jonathan MacKerron: 15:15 May 23, 2005: does this mean that he's the head gossip? -
Victor Dewsbery: 15:34 May 23, 2005: Quite likely in the German secret code for references, especially because the context given does not suggest that he actually ***helped*** anybody. -
Cilian O'Tuama: 15:41 May 23, 2005: IMO your paraphrase is fine, maybe "THE (first) person to turn to..." -

| 提问者给回答者的留言I used "reference point". I note a lack of unanimity even among native speakers as to whether this term is used to refer to the guy's knowledge or his interpersonal skills. So I chose "reference" as it is fairly neutral but leaning towards the knowledge option. After all, the guy's an engineer, not someone in one of those touchy-feely professions.
