“枪手”本意指“射击手(shooter)”，意思是“a person who shoots a gun”，常见表达如“神枪手(sharpshooter)”。 除此之外，“枪手”还有一个十分常见的含义，比喻“替别人代笔作文(ghostwrite for somebody)的人”，古人称之为“捉刀人”。现在，“枪手”也可以指冒名顶替代为考试并获取相应报酬的人(one who sits for an examination in place of another person)，英文翻译为“a paid test-taker”。 检方称，黄某在3月安排了一名“枪手”代替她参加托福考试。 Prosecutors said Huang in March arranged to have a paid test taker sit in her place and take the TOEFL. 为将军的回忆录捉刀 Ghost the general’s memoirs
