  1. 1n/məˈriːnz/marine corps (usually the US)海軍陸戰隊

    The Marines is the marine corps: the part of a country's armed forces whose members are trained to travel by sea and then work on land. In American English it almost always means the United States Marine Corps.

    the Marines 指的是海軍陸戰隊這個軍種。他們的特色是從海上出發，再到陸地上行動。所以名字裡有 marine（海的），工作卻多半在岸上。這個字幾乎一定加 the，而且 M 大寫，因為它是一個單位的名字。講其中一個人時用單數 a Marine。在美式英文裡，如果沒有特別講是哪一國，the Marines 通常就是美國海軍陸戰隊。

    示範例句 · Example

    My uncle served in the Marines for six years.

    中文翻譯我叔叔在海軍陸戰隊服役了六年。

    The name comes from the sea, but most of the work happens on shore. That is the whole idea of this part of an army: the ships bring them, and then they land. The word comes with the in front of it and a capital M, because it is the name of one body of people. One person in it is a Marine. When an American speaker says the Marines with no country attached, they mean the United States Marine Corps.

  2. 2n/məˈriːnz/Royal Marines (UK)（英）皇家海軍陸戰隊

    In Britain, the Marines means the Royal Marines: the part of the British navy whose members are trained to land from ships and work on shore.

    在英國，the Marines 通常指 the Royal Marines。工作內容跟美國那邊很像：從船上登陸，然後在岸上行動。不一樣的是位置：英國這一支屬於海軍底下，不是獨立的軍種。所以讀到 the Marines，先看說話的人是哪裡人比較保險。英國的新聞也常直接寫全名 the Royal Marines，把話講清楚。

    The job looks much like the American one, but the place in the system is different. In Britain this force sits inside the navy; in the United States the Marine Corps is its own branch. So when you meet the Marines in a text, it helps to notice where the writer is from. British writing often puts the full name, the Royal Marines, so that nobody has to guess.

    常見搭配

    • the Royal Marines

      皇家海軍陸戰隊

      Her brother is training with the Royal Marines.
