Question

militia n.民兵组织；义勇军；国民军 (1) 民兵占领了这座城堡。(2) 人们聚集起来，组成国民自卫队来保卫他们的城镇。 Militia comes from mīlet-, Latin for "soldier," but the word now refers to a band of fighters who aren't officially soldiers. Sometimes militias add on to regular army forces, like the citizen's militias who fought alongside regular troops in the Revolutionary War. But you'll frequently hear militia if you're listening to news about dangerously violent parts of the world where, instead of voting for change, groups form militias and fight for political power. It's also a verb: to militia.
