salute在这里的意思?

题目

salute在这里的意思?
At 10:00 a.m.Moscow time (0600 GMT),the parade started when Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov and the Moscow Military District Commander Valery Gerasimov inspected and saluted the troops with festival greetings.请问在这句话中salute是取show respcet还是praise的意思?

答案

这里应该是show respect,其实我们汉语里说的致敬--也有赞扬和赞颂/praise的意味.总体来说就是下级向上级致敬/敬礼（注意表示“敬礼”通常主语用solder或guard等military person）,同时上级也可以向下级/群众致敬（通常是招手表示致意）.
