“Yes, Sir”: Disciplinary Services Switch to Chinese-Style Salutes; Sources Say Police Plan to Adopt Chinese-Style Drill and Salutes on July 1
多支紀律部隊去年底至今年陸續轉用中式步操,據了解,各部隊亦同步全面轉用中式敬禮,敬禮手勢與傳統英式不同,口令及敬語等亦轉用中文,「Yes Sir」及「Good Morning Sir」分別為「是的長官」、「早安長官」,有關安排不止限於學堂。3名消息人士向本報確認,警隊亦計劃今年7月1日轉用中式步操的同時,全面轉用中式敬禮。
Several disciplined services switched to Chinese-style marching drill from late last year through this year. It is understood that the services also simultaneously switched fully to Chinese-style salutes, with the saluting gesture differing from the traditional British style. Commands and forms of address have also been changed to Chinese: “Yes Sir” and “Good Morning Sir” are now “是的長官” and “早安長官” respectively. The arrangements are not limited to training schools. Three sources confirmed to the newspaper that the police also plan to switch fully to Chinese-style salutes on July 1 this year, at the same time as adopting Chinese-style marching drill.
