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.副州长和陆军中尉之间有什么联系?就lieutenant 这个单词的词源来说， 至少，联系在于他们都拥有一个位置；也就是说，lieutenant 这个词源于一个古法语复合词，这个词由 lieu （“场所”）和 tenant （“拥有”）及动词 tenir （“持有，拥有”）的现在分词组成。 古法语的这个词和借用的中古英语词lieutenant 的最早记录出现在14世纪末， 该词指的是代理别人做某事的人。这种用法至今仍使用，例如，我们的短语lieutenant governor（副州长） 州长的副职和必要时代替州长的人。 在军事用语中，lieutenant 单独出现， 也在复合词如first lieutenant 及 second lieutenants 中出现， 这把情况搞复杂了一些，但这个词在军事用语中的原始意义是它所指的军官低于上一级军官，在必要时可以取代他。因此，美国陆军中的一名中尉可以取代上尉〔make〕She made lieutenant.她的军衔为中尉〔lieutenant〕One who holds the rank of lieutenant, first lieutenant, or second lieutenant.尉级军官：有上尉，中尉或少尉军衔的人〔captain〕A precinct commander in a police or fire department, usually ranking above a lieutenant and below a chief.警察局副巡官；消防队中队长：警察局消防队的辖区指挥官，通常级别高于中尉，低于警长（或队长）〔sergeant〕The rank of police officer next below a captain, lieutenant, or inspector.警官：紧接着低于上尉、中尉或监察长的警察官员 |
