播音主持用英语通常称为"announcing"或"broadcasting." 这个词的来源可以追溯到19世纪末期，当时电台广播开始普及，"announcing"和"broadcasting"就成为了电台广播中主持人的主要职责之一。
一些例句如下：
"She's been announcing for the local radio station for over 10 years." (她已经在当地电台播音主持10多年了。)
"He's a natural at announcing and always keeps the audience engaged." (他天生就是播音主持人，总是能让听众保持兴趣。)
"She's been broadcasting the morning news for the past 5 years." (她过去5年一直在播报早间新闻。)
