| 词汇 | soldier-s breeze or wind |
| 词源 | soldier’s breeze or wind. A sailor’s contemptuous regard for landlubbers is reflected in this 19th-century term for a wind that is equally forcible going or coming. In other words, when the wind is about abeam going out and coming back, it takes little ability to sail—even a soldier could do it. |
