Question

civilian adj.平民的n.罗马法专家；平民 (1) 他辞去军职而从事平民工作。(2) 对于他们枪杀无辜平民，人们感到义愤填膺。(3) 一个平民被流弹打死。 The meaning of civilian as a non military person is a relatively new one, dating from the early 19th century. Before that it referred to the code of law that governed non-military life. In fact for hundreds of years a civilian was somebody who was a judge or otherwise an expert on the law that applied outside military courts. Because it comes originally from a French word, remember to spell it with only one "l," even though it sounds like it should have two.
