核心畫面

One way to picture lieutenant: the person standing one step below the one in charge, ready to act in their place. That single position explains all the uses — a junior officer under the captain, a police officer running a squad, a title stuck in front of colonel or governor to mark the deputy version of it, and a leader's trusted right hand.

可以想成 lieutenant 是「站在負責人下面一階、隨時可以代他出面」的那個位置。這一個位置就解釋了它所有的用法更多收起可以想成 lieutenant 是「站在負責人下面一階、隨時可以代他出面」的那個位置。這一個位置就解釋了它所有的用法:上尉底下的軍官、帶一組警員的警官、加在 colonel 或 governor 前面標示「副的那一版」,以及一位領導者最信任的左右手。

把「低一階、可代行」直接貼在別的頭銜前面:加上去之後,那個職稱就變成它的副手版本。
