watchmen 的音标为 英 [ˈwɒtʃmən],是 watchman 的复数形式,基本含义为“(夜晚看守大楼的)看守人;巡夜人”,指负责守卫特定区域或建筑的人员[3][10]。该词也可特指DC漫画改编的超级英雄电影《守望者》(Watchmen),由扎克·施奈德执导,讲述一群退役超级英雄的故事[3]。

短语搭配

night watchman:守夜人,指夜间值班的警卫[2][10]。

The Watchmen:《守望者》(电影/漫画名称),也译为“保卫奇侠”[3]。

Watchmen Graphic Novel:《守望者》漫画小说,原作漫画的名称。

注意事项

作为普通名词时,watchmen 强调具体的“看守人”群体;作为作品名称《守望者》时,首字母需大写(Watchmen)[3]。

近义词包括 guardsecurity guardcustodian 等,均指负责安全保卫的人员[4]。

从夜晚巡逻的警卫到虚构世界的超级英雄,watchmen 一词既承载着现实中的职责,也延伸出文化作品中的象征意义。你是否在其他语境中见过这个词的特殊用法?
