博古通今，横贯中西
【 在 cjohny 的大作中提到: 】
: 最近在读Alison Weir的The Wars of the Roses，书中不止一次出现constable这个词。记忆中，这个词好象指代的是警察，但文中显然并非此意，且警察这个职位在中世纪应该尚未出现。
: 例句：Richard, Duke of York, came of age in 1432, when he was twenty-one. Two years earlier he had been given the important office of Constable of England, which carried responsibility for England's military defence, and in 1431 had attended Henry VI in France.
