當兵 的英文怎麼說?

[1] do the mandatory military service[2] fulfill the compulsory military service[3] serve in the army[4] to join the army[5] be drafted into the army[6] be drafted into the military service[7] do the mandatory military service[8] conscription

義務兵役，也就是「當兵」，台灣的男生必須做的事情 = mandatory military service = compulsory military service

動詞可以用 do 或 fulfill。

serve in the army 是「當兵」最簡單的說法之一，例如:

He is serving in the Taiwanese Army = 他正在台灣的陸軍當兵

由於這裡有講到國家，所以 army 的第一個字母要大寫，表示是那個國家的陸軍，如果是海軍或空軍，請參考以下:

He is serving in the Taiwanese Navy = 他正在台灣的海軍當兵

He is serving in the Taiwanese Air Force = 他正在台灣的空軍當兵

如果只是想表示兵的種類，就不用第一個字母大寫，也別加上國家。

我明年六月當兵 = I'll be serving in the army next June. = I'll do the mandatory military service next June.

draft 是另一個常用的字，例如:

Why weren't you drafted? = 你怎麼沒當兵?
I will be drafted this year. = 今年我會服兵役

而 conscript 跟 draft 是徵兵制的意思，例如:

He didn't join the army voluntarily. He was drafted as a war was ongoing.

voluntary military service = 志願役，也就是自願當兵的制度

be enlisted in the army = 募兵制

go to the army = join the army = 指加入軍隊，意思較不明確，可能是當兵，也有可能是職業軍人的意思。
