短释义：
The word mercenary comes from the Latin mercēnārius, “hireling,” which defines someone who will do anything in exchange for money. In history, a mercenary was often a fighter who followed the next paycheck, but in recent decades it’s also been used for fighters who pursue a good cause in areas where soldiers are in short supply. A synonym for mercenary is “soldier of fortune,” and this phrase sometimes glorifies the mercenary, turning the meaning of “fortune” from “cash” to “luck in battle.”
您可能不想将雇佣军称为“雇用”的脸，但毕竟是一名士兵，是一名士兵，他被薪水以在需要的地方打架，有时需要英勇的立场，而有时只是想要付款来打架。

雇佣军这个词来自拉丁语梅斯特·纳里乌斯（LatinMercēnārius），“ Hireling”，它定义了一个会做任何事情以换取金钱的人。在历史上，一名雇佣军通常是一名追随下一个薪水的战士，但是在近几十年中，它也被用于在士兵短暂供不应求的地区追求好事业的战士。雇佣军的代名词是“财富士兵”，这句话有时会荣耀雇佣军，将“财富”的含义从“现金”转变为“战斗中的运气”。
