Peacekeeping維和 is是 the work of sending soldiers to a troubled place派士兵到動盪地區的工作 so that讓 two opposing groups對立的兩方 stop fighting and stay apart停止打鬥、彼此分開。

In the news you will hear peacekeeping force, peacekeeping mission, and peacekeeping troops — and those phrases name the group of soldiers themselves. That is how the word often appears: not as one person, but as the job, the operation, and the force doing it.

In the news在新聞裡 you will hear你會聽到 peacekeeping force維和部隊 peacekeeping mission維和任務 and peacekeeping troops維和軍隊 — and those phrases而這些說法 name指的就是 the group of soldiers themselves士兵這群人本身。That is how the word often appears這個詞常常是這樣出現的：not as one person不是指一個人，but as而是指 the job, the operation, and the force doing it做這件事的工作、行動、和部隊。

A peacekeeping mission is not supposed to be a war of conquest. The soldiers patrol, watch, and try to hold a ceasefire, often under the United Nations.

A peacekeeping mission維和任務 is not supposed to be不應該是 a war of conquest征服性的戰爭。The soldiers士兵們 patrol, watch, and try to hold a ceasefire巡邏、看守、並設法維持停火，often under the United Nations通常隸屬聯合國。

The people doing the work are peacekeepers; what they do is peacekeeping. Though actually news writers blur the two, and peacekeeping on its own can mean both the activity and, loosely, the soldiers.

The people doing the work做這件事的人 are叫做 peacekeepers維和人員；what they do他們做的事 is就是 peacekeeping維和。Though actually不過其實 news writers新聞寫作者 blur the two把這兩者混著用，and peacekeeping on its own而單獨的peacekeeping一詞 can mean both可以同時指 the activity這個活動 and, loosely, the soldiers也可以鬆散地指士兵。

The word follows the older English phrase keep the peace.

The word這個詞 follows是承襲自 the older English phrase更早的英文說法 keep the peace維持和平。
