Soldiers who fight on foot.
徒步作战的士兵。
Think of 'infant' (a young, often 'non-speaking' child) and how early armies might have seen foot soldiers as less significant or 'younger' in status compared to cavalry, hence 'infantry' as a body of 'young' or 'lesser' soldiers.
想象“infant”（一个年幼、通常“不会说话”的孩子），以及早期军队可能将步兵视为地位较低或“年轻”的士兵，与骑兵相比，因此“infantry”就是一群“年轻”或“次要”的士兵。
"The infantry battalion was ordered to secure the bridgehead before the armored divisions could advance."
"步兵营奉命在装甲师推进前确保桥头堡的安全。"
