汤米·阿特金斯

汤米·阿特金斯英语:Tommy Atkins)(常用仅汤米)是用来泛指一名普通英国陆军士兵的俚语。虽然这一称呼在19世纪已形成,但它尤其与第一次世界大战相联系。它可用于指代,或者一种对话时的直接称呼。德国士兵如果想和英国士兵对话,就会向三不管地带(交战双方之间的区域)大喊“汤米”。法军和英联邦军队也会把英军称作“汤米们”(Tommies)。现在,汤米·阿特金斯一词已较少被使用,尽管“汤姆”(Tom)这个名字还会偶尔提到,常指伞兵。

Tommy Atkins 汤米·阿特金斯

Tommy mit der Tommy-Gun

Tommy Atkins (often just Tommy) is slang for a common soldier in the British Army. It was certainly well established during the nineteenth century, but is particularly associated with World War I. It can be used as a term of reference, or as a form of address. German soldiers would call out to "Tommy" across no man's land if they wished to speak to a British soldier. French and Commonwealth troops would also call British soldiers "Tommies". In more recent times, the term Tommy Atkins has been used less frequently, although the name "Tom" is occasionally still heard, especially with regard to paratroopers.
