infantry
含义: Soldiers who fight on foot, typically forming the largest component of an army; foot soldiers collectively.
Infantry has been the backbone of armies throughout history, providing the main force for holding ground and engaging in close combat. In the British Army, infantry regiments have strong regional identities and proud traditions. Modern infantry soldiers are highly trained and equipped with advanced weapons, communications, and body armour. The term is used as a collective noun — one speaks of 'the infantry' rather than 'infantries'.
