核心畫面
From the Latin word for 'body': picture a group of people moving and acting as one single body — organized, under one head, each person a part of the whole.
corps 來自拉丁文的『身體』：可以想成一群人像同一副身體那樣一起行動——有組織、有頭領，每個人都是整體的一部分。
From the word’s history
Corps comes through French from Latin corpus 'body' (a doublet of corpse and corpus). An organized group of people is pictured as one body.
corps 經法文來自拉丁文 corpus（身體），和 corpse、corpus 同源；一個有組織的團體，就被想成一副身體。
