喜樂美語
  1. 1

    Soldiers who fight while riding horses — this is the historical meaning, used for armies from ancient times up through the early 1900s. Modern armies still use the word for some fast-moving units (like tank or helicopter divisions) even though horses aren't usually involved anymore. You'll also hear 'the cavalry arrives' used loosely to mean 'help showed up just in time.'

    騎兵（歷史上騎馬作戰的士兵）；現代軍隊也沿用此詞稱裝甲或快速部隊
