mozo的注释：

5. In the world of pack trains and cattle roundups, a mozo provides a useful pair of extra hands. Back home on the ranch, the mozo helps with odd jobs, especially heavy work around the house. In the southwest United States mozo has taken on a general sense of “assistant,” even in areas not related to ranching: “An enterprising deputy of the opposition Partido de Acción Nacional (PAN) called a quorum count, only to find that . . . many of the reclining figures occasionally raising their hands were mozos (attendants)” (Latin America). In fact, to call an assistant a mozo is essentially to call him a “boy,” for mozo is Spanish for “young man.” Even though a mozo may not be a boy in years, the word is not used disparagingly. In other languages porters or guides are commonly referred to as “boys”—for example, gillie, from Scottish Gaelic gille, means “boy.”
在行李车上或养牛场里，一个mozo 很能帮上一把。 回到农场的家中，男佣帮着做各种杂活，尤其是重体力家务活。在美国西南地区mozo 一般是“服务员”的意思， 甚至在与农场无关的地方也是如此：“一个有胆量的PAN的代表要求法庭达到法定人数，但只发现…许多偶尔举手的、可依靠的人都是随从” （拉丁美洲）。实际上，把一个帮手称为mozo 是称他为“男孩”， 因为mozo 是西班牙语的“年轻人”。 尽管男孩在年龄上并不是个男孩了，但该词不按原意来使用。在别的语言中，看门小厮或保安通常也被称作“男孩”，例如：gillie 源自苏格兰方言 gille 意思是“男孩”
