- 1特洛伊人；work like a Trojan＝拚命工作、任勞任怨。電腦上的 trojan 台灣講「木馬程式」，Trojan horse 則是「特洛伊木馬」（比喻裡應外合的東西）。
The line you were given points at the phrase this word really lives in: to work like a Trojan means to work extremely hard, for a long time, without complaining. "She worked like a Trojan all weekend to finish the report." You can also say someone is a Trojan, meaning they are that kind of worker — this use is warm and , and sounds a little old-fashioned and British. Behind it is the ancient city of Troy: in the old stories the Trojans defended their city for ten years, so English took them as the picture of stubborn, effort. Two other uses are worth knowing because you will meet them more often. First, a Trojan horse is a trick — something that looks like a gift or looks harmless, and is let in, but has your enemy hidden inside it. People use it about ideas and policies: "the new rule is a Trojan horse for cutting ." Second, in computers, a trojan (often written with a small t) is a program that pretends to be something useful so that you install it yourself, and then does harm. Note the difference from the older phrase: work like a Trojan is praise, but Trojan horse and computer trojan are about deception.
組成From Troy, the ancient city, plus -an 'belonging to'. The hard-work sense comes from the long defence of Troy; the trick sense comes from the wooden horse the Greeks hid inside to get into the city.
