select和elect的区别为
1、select【挑选】

eg：政府官员均通过竞争性考试选拔任用
1. The government officials were selected and employed by competitive exams
2. The government officials were recruited through competitive examinations.
第一个翻译不对路，任用没有很好地翻译出来，empoly 【雇佣】，不如appoint【任用】，
所有翻译为The government officials were selected and appointed by competitive exams
更好些。
第二个翻译recruit 这个词，招募没有很好地体现选拔任用的具体含义太空泛，是一个不好的翻译。
(VERB) 招收；招募；征召 If you recruit people for an organization, you select them and persuade them to join it or work for it.
The police are trying to recruit more black and Asian officers...
警方正在试图招募更多黑人和亚裔警官。
