经常看到profile这个单词，查了字典就是不明白应该翻译成什么意思，字典上的意思就是“剖面, 侧面, 外形, 轮廓”之类的解释，可是翻译不通呀。
前些天我用了一个德汉词典，一查，profile在德语中的一个解释是“档案资料”。
我觉得翻译成这样还能说得过去。不知大家意见如何？

不错，profile 本身意思是剖面, 侧面, 外形, 轮廓。但现在常用这个字时，它的含义更进一层。For example, if you are writing an eCommerce website, "retrieve user's profile" means 查看用户的档案资料， get user's name, age, shoping history, interests, etc. So profile can be understood as "outline of a person's characteristics".

Currently, personalization is another buzzword. Shopping website can present different products or information to users according to his/her profile to maximize online sales.

when profile is used as a verb, it means create the outline of something, or summarize characterstics of it. "Profile a software program" means finding out the characterstics of the program, like how much memory it takes, how much time spent in each method, how often a method is called, etc.
