术语“军人阶层”的详细信息

英译术语:

military caste

汉语语境:

军人阶层社会中，全体军事成员都来自特定的部落、民族、教派或其它社会经济集团。军人阶层以外的公民禁止参军，往往禁止携带武器，因为军人阶层担心公民可能会用武器来对付他们。封建时代的日本大多实行军人阶层制度，古代的斯巴达也是如此。

英语语境:

In a society with a military caste, all members of the military are from a specific tribe, nationality, religion, or other socio-economic subgroup. Citizens who are not part of the caste are forbidden from joining the military and often from carrying any weapons at all, because the military caste fears that the citizens might fight against them with the weapons. The feudal Japan was basically under a military caste system, and it was the same in ancient Sparta.

英译术语:

arms-bearing class

汉语语境:

武器代表勇气、凶残还有战争的胜利，但也有其他含义。其中之一就是自由和个人主权。在我们祖先的世界里，只有自由人才可以携带武器，携带武器是他的自由的保障。武器因而代表的是自由的军人阶层及其特权。

英语语境:

Weapons represent courage, ferocity, and victory of the war, but they also have other meanings. One of them is freedom or personal sovereignty. In our ancestor's world, only a free man could bear arms, and the act of bearing arms was the guarantor of his freedom. Weapons therefore represented the free arms-bearing class and their privileges.
