soldiers士兵，especially尤其是the late 1800s and the First World War十九世紀晚期和第一次世界大戰時期的士兵，wrapped纏 a long strip of cloth一條長布條 round each leg繞著每條腿 from the knee down to the boot從膝蓋往下纏到靴子，這就是puttee綁腿。It它 was part of the uniform是制服的一部分。

It kept mud and stones out, held the trousers in, and supported the back of the lower leg. British and Indian army soldiers are the ones in most old photos.

It它 kept mud and stones out擋住泥巴和石頭，held the trousers in固定住褲管，and supported the back of the lower leg並支撐小腿後側。British and Indian army soldiers英國和印度軍隊的士兵 are the ones是 in most old photos在大部分老照片裡看到的人。

The word came into English from Hindi, where it meant a strip of cloth or a bandage.

The word這個字 came into English從Hindi進入英語，where在那裡 it它 meant a strip of cloth or a bandage意思是一條布或繃帶。

Nobody wears puttees as regular kit now; you meet the word in history, museums, and old war stories.

Nobody現在沒有人 wears puttees把綁腿當作 as regular kit日常裝備穿了；you你 meet the word會在history, museums, and old war stories歷史、博物館和老戰爭故事裡遇到這個字。

Though actually, it is easy to hear “put” in it and invent an English story; for this wrapping, the Hindi cloth-word is the one that holds.

Though actually不過事實上，it它 is easy to hear "put"很容易聽出裡面的put in it，and invent an English story並編出一個英語的故事；for this wrapping對這種纏法來說，the Hindi cloth-word印度語的布料字 is the one that holds才是站得住腳的解釋。

It is not putty, the soft paste used on windows, and it is not a kind of boot.

It它 is not putty不是putty油灰，the soft paste used on windows那種用在窗戶上的軟膏狀填料，and它 is not a kind of boot也不是一種靴子。
