这里的executive officer和officer有区别吗？该如何翻译呢？
(corporate) officer
An officer of a corporation, such as a CEO, president, secretary, or treasurer. （布莱克，P. 1117）
Executive
(2) a corporate officer at the upper levels of management. Also termed executive officer, executive employee. （布莱克，P. 610）
management. 管理层，管理人员
The people in a company who are responsible for its operation.
middle management. 中级管理人员
People who manage operations within a company and execute top management's directives.
top management. 高级管理人员，高管？
The highest level of a company's management, at which major policy decisions and long-term business plans are made. — Also termed upper management.
不知各位习惯将officer译为什么，我习惯将其译为“高管”。这样的话， executive译为“执行高管”，各位以为如何？但这两个词语到底区别何在其实还是不清楚的。Officer所包括的CEO, president, secretary, or treasurer哪个不是“执行高管”？从下文wiki的释义看，CEO, president, treasurer都是，secretary不是吗？请教各位。如果secretary不是，那这就是corporate officer和executive officer的区别所在吗？
Wiki对executive officer的解释更详细些：CEO是最常见的executive officer，而加利福尼亚州州的《公司披露法》将其定义为薪酬最高的非董事的五位高管。很多保单将其定义为包括董事长、CEO、CFO、COO、总经理或总法律顾问。
In business, the executive officers are the top officers of a corporation, the chief executive officer (CEO) being the best-known type. The definition varies; for instance, the California Corporate Disclosure Act defines "executive officers" as the five most highly-compensated officers not also sitting on the board of directors. In many insurance policies, executive officer means, in the case of a corporation, any Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating officer, President, or general counsel. In the case of a sole proprietorship, an executive officer is the sole proprietor. In the case of a partnership, an executive officer is a managing partner, senior partner, or administrative partner. In the case of a limited liability company, an executive officer is any member, manager, or officer.
In the airline industry, the Executive Officer, more commonly known as the First Officer, is the second in command of the aircraft. In a fixed wing aircraft the First Officer sits in the right-hand seat but a rotary wing aircraft they sit on the left. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_officer
