/ˈbætmən/
A soldier whose job was to work as a personal servant for an army officer.
軍官勤務兵 / 傳令兵
複數 batmen
核心畫面
Picture a soldier assigned to one officer, looking after his kit and daily needs — polishing boots, carrying gear, meals. A 'batman' is that personal army servant.
From the word’s history
From obsolete 'bat' (packsaddle, from French 'bât') + 'man': originally the soldier in charge of the officer's 'bat-horse' that carried his baggage, later broadened to the officer's personal servant.
來自已廢棄的 bat(馱鞍,源自法文 bât)加上 man:原本指負責照管軍官那匹馱運行李的「bat-horse(馱馬)」的士兵,後來才擴大成軍官的私人勤務兵。
