英语词汇old guard的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	old guard
词源	old guard. This term for the conservative wing of a political party, or anyone who opposes change, dates back to Napoleon’s Imperial Guard, troops chosen in 1804 to be the élite of the French military. Devoted to Napoleon, they were treated better than the rest of the army and opposed any change in the status quo, the French calling them the Vieille Garde, or “old guard.” In their bearskin hats and colorful uniforms they made the last charge at Waterloo.
