基本释意：
adjective
having or showing valor
英勇的，勇敢的
同义词：
valorous
短释义：
Synonyms for valiant include “heroic” and “courageous,” so it isn’t surprising that those who serve in the military often are called valiant. The 14th-century French origins of the word are “bold” or “of worth,” which makes the adjective valiant a good one for describing ordinary people who put all they have into something, making their efforts valiant, even if they fail. The Plymouth Valiant, by the way, was considered a strong and successful car, though valiant usually refers to people.
汽车制造商普利茅斯在 20 世纪 60 年代和 70 年代将一款汽车命名为“Valiant”是相当勇敢的，因为这个词通常指英雄或描述真正坚定或勇敢的努力，但结局并不好。

勇敢的同义词包括“英雄”和“勇敢”，因此在军队服役的人经常被称为勇敢也就不足为奇了。这个词起源于 14 世纪的法语，意思是“大胆”或“有价值”，这使得“勇敢”这个形容词非常适合用来形容普通人，他们将自己的一切投入到某件事中，即使失败，也要勇敢地努力。顺便说一下，普利茅斯勇敢者被认为是一款强大而成功的汽车，尽管勇敢通常指的是人。
