1. 1軍校生(警察則說警校生)

    A cadet is someone who is training to become an officer in the army, navy, air force, or police. They are not a full officer yet. They live and train at an academy or in a special programme, wear a uniform, and work at both study and drill. In some countries, schools also have cadet clubs, where teenagers practise military-style skills without joining the army yet. The word is the normal, slightly formal word in those worlds — not a joke and not an insult. It does not have to mean a child; many cadets are young adults. Do not mix it up with a golf caddie (the person who carries the bags). The two words look a little alike, and they even share an old French root, but they are different jobs.

組成Borrowed from French cadet, from Gascon capdet, from Late Latin capitellum (“small head”). In English from 1634.
