想象一下,靓丽的女警骑在高头骏马上,英姿飒爽穿过市区执行巡逻任务…… 近日,宁夏女子骑警队在石嘴山市正式成立,该骑警队由15名女警和20匹警马组成,将担负节庆治安巡逻、文体礼仪表演、礼仪警卫等任务。

由图片说明可知,“女骑警”相应的英文表达为“mounted policewomen”。当然,如果去掉“-women”,“mounted police”则表示“骑警”,“mounted”在此指“骑着马执行任务的”。
“Mount”做动词,除常见意义“登(山)”外,还可表示“骑(马)”、“骑(摩托)”,如:to mount a horse(上马);to mount sb. on a donkey(扶某人上驴背)。
