Related, relative and relevant 三个“相关的”单词

 

"Hi, there. My name is Tracey from China and I really like your program. I'm wondering, what's the difference between related, relative and relevant? In Chinese, we often say “相关管理人员,相关负责人,相关部门,相关材料”等等。So could you please tell me how to use these words? Thank you in advance!"

Tracey, China

Related, relative 和 relevant 都带有“相关的”含义。它们是不是同义词呢?它们在英语中的用法又是怎样的呢?请听讲解。
