本次我们来辨别2个单词，它们分别是：
- cavalry
- chivalry
chivalry 指的是中世纪时期的骑士精神或行为准则，比如勇敢、忠诚、礼貌等。
cavalry 指的是骑马作战的军队或部队。
和cavalry差不多含义的还有knight，knight 指的是中世纪时期被封为爵士的武士，通常穿着盔甲和持有武器。
例如：
He was a man of chivalry and honor. 他是一个有骑士精神和荣誉感的人。
The cavalry charged at the enemy lines. 骑兵向敌人阵线发起冲锋。
He was knighted by the king for his bravery. 他因其勇敢而被国王封为爵士。
第1个单词：cavalry
美音：/ˈkæv(ə)lri/，英音：/ˈkæv(ə)lri/
含义：n. 骑兵；装甲兵；装甲部队

英文短含义：A cavalry is a group of soldiers who fight on horses. Cavalry can also refer to any military unit that is quick and mobile./
骑兵是骑马作战的一群士兵。骑兵也可以指任何快速机动的军事单位。
英文长含义：If a general said, “Send in the cavalry!” you can be sure a group of soldiers are being called upon. The only question is whether the cavalry is the traditional sort or if the word is being used more loosely. Traditionally, a cavalry is a unit of troops on horseback. When horses were a primary means of transportation, cavalries were a common part of war. Since then, a cavalry might be any unit of soldiers that can be quickly deployed.
如果将军说：“派骑兵进来！”您可以确定正在征召一群士兵。唯一的问题是骑兵是否是传统类型，或者这个词是否被更宽松地使用。传统上，骑兵是骑在马背上的部队。当马匹是主要交通工具时，骑兵是战争的常见组成部分。从那时起，骑兵可能是可以快速部署的任何士兵单位。
例句1：Therefore, as the defects of both these kinds of infantry are recognized, a new type can be organized that is able to withstand cavalry and has no fear of foot-soldiers.
因此，认识到这两种步兵的缺点，就可以组织一种能抗骑兵而不怕步兵的新型步兵。

第2个单词：chivalry

含义：n. 骑士精神（复数 chivalries）；骑士制度
网络含义：骑士精神
英文短含义：Men behaving courteously toward women — holding the door for them, offering them their jackets when it’s cold — is called chivalry. Many women consider chivalry a lost art. Nice work, fellas./

英文长含义：Cavalry (soldiers on horseback) and chivalry have the same root: the Medieval Latin word caballarius, meaning “horseman” or “knight.” In the Middle Ages, a knight was expected to be brave, loyal, and to open the tavern door for his date. Picture a knight kneeling before a maiden and kissing her hand. It’s a classic image of chivalry from the storybooks. Some women wonder whether chivalry has ever existed anywhere else.
