  1. 1校友（複數；中文用「校友」即可，不必學拉丁文的陰陽性）

    Alumni are the former students of a school, college, or university, spoken of as a group. In careful Latin-minded English, alumni is the masculine plural, or the plural for a mixed group of men and women; a group of women only is alumnae. In real American campus talk, alumni is the default plural for everyone, and many people never say alumnae at all. The word is common in “alumni association”, “alumni weekend”, “alumni donations” — institutional English, not kitchen-table English. One person is not alumni; that slip is very common. Say an , an , or, more easily, an / a former student.
