alumnus的用法:
4. The fact that the plural alumni of the masculine alumnus differs from the plural alumnae of the feminine alumna has created a certain amount of awkwardness with the advent of coeducational institutions. Most commonly, alumni is used for graduates of both sexes. But those who object to the choice of masculine forms in such cases may prefer the phrase alumni and alumnae or the form alumnae/i ; this is the choice, for example, of many women's colleges that have begun to admit men.
alumni, 作为男校友 alumnus 的复数形式与 alumnae, 女校友 alumna 的复数形式两者不同的事实, 随着共同教育学院的出现而造成了许多麻烦。通常,alumni 用来指男女毕业生。 但那些反对选择阳性词的人可能会赞同使用词组alumniandalumnae 或者 alumnae/i 这种形式; 如很多已经开始招收男生的女子学院就选择了这种形式
