n.（名詞）
<注釋>What is the connection between a lieutenant governor and a lieutenant in the armyôIn the etymology of the wordlieutenant, at least, the connection lies in their holding a place;that is, the wordlieutenant is from an Old French compound made up of lieu, .place,. and tenant, .holding,. the present participle of the verb tenir, .to hold.. The word in Old French and the borrowed Middle English wordlieutenant, first recorded near the end of the 4th century, referred to a person who acted for another as a deputy.This usage has survived,for example, in our termlieutenant governor, the deputy of the governor and the one who replaces the governor if need be. In military parlancelieutenant appears by itself as well as in compounds such asfirst lieutenant and second lieutenant, which muddy the water a bit,but the original notion of the word in military usage was that the officer it referred to ranked below the next one upand could replace him if need be.A lieutenant in the U.S. Army could thus step into the shoes of a captain.
副州長和陸軍中尉之間有什麼聯繫ô就lieutenant 這個單詞的詞源來說， 至少，聯繫在於他們都擁有一個位置；也就是說，lieutenant 這個詞源於一個古法文複合詞，這個詞由 lieu （.場所.）和 tenant （.擁有.）及動詞 tenir （.持有，擁有.）的現在分詞組成。 古法文的這個詞和借用的中古英文詞lieutenant 的最早記錄出現在4世紀末， 該詞指的是代理別人做某事的人。這種用法至今仍使用，例如，我們的短語lieutenant governor（副州長） 州長的副職和必要時代替州長的人。 在軍事用語中，lieutenant 單獨出現， 也在複合詞如first lieutenant 及 second lieutenants 中出現， 這把情況搞複雜了一些，但這個詞在軍事用語中的原始意義是它所指的軍官低於上一級軍官，在必要時可以取代他。因此，美國陸軍中的一名中尉可以取代上尉
