Back home on the ranch,the mozo helps with odd jobs,especially heavy work around the house.In the southwest United Statesmozo has taken on a general sense of "assistant,” even in areas not related to ranching: "An enterprising deputy of the opposition Partido de Acción Nacional (PAN) called a quorum count, only to find that . . . many of the reclining figures occasionally raising their hands were mozos (attendants)” (Latin America).In fact, to call an assistant amozo is essentially to call him a "boy,” formozo is Spanish for "young man.” Even though a mozo may not be a boy in years,the word is not used disparagingly.In other languagesporters or guides are commonly referred to as "boys"—for example,gillie, from Scottish Gaelic gille, means "boy.” 在行李车上或养牛场里,一个mozo 很能帮上一把。 回到农场的家中,男佣帮着做各种杂活,尤其是重体力家务活。在美国西南地区mozo 一般是“服务员”的意思, 甚至在与农场无关的地方也是如此: “一个有胆量的PAN的代表要求法庭达到法定人数,但只发现…许多偶尔举手的、可依靠的人都是随从” (拉丁美洲)。实际上,把一个帮手称为mozo 是称他为“男孩”, 因为mozo 是西班牙语的“年轻人”。 尽管男孩在年龄上并不是个男孩了,但该词不按原意来使用。在别的语言中,看门小厮或保安通常也被称作“男孩”,例如:gillie 源自苏格兰方言 gille 意思是“男孩” 〔Xizang〕An autonomous region of China in the southwest part of the country north and west of the Himalaya Mountains.
