| 释义 | > as lemmasthe service By the 18th century increasingly used to refer to the whole of the army or the navy, as being the two main functionally distinct divisions of the armed forces of a country; in this sense the service could sometimes be used, without prior indication, to refer specifically to one of these. Subsequently such use of the word (without preceding modifying word or other contextual indication) has been extended to other comparably distinct divisions of the armed forces of a country, notably its air force. In addition, service continues to be used with a preceding modifying word to refer to smaller divisions within these.extracted from servicen.1< as lemmas |
