※ 引述《MonkeyCL (可爱的小猴子)》之铭言：
: From next year military conscription in the Netherlands will also apply to
: women, if the Dutch government has its way. This is a purely symbolic measure
: for equal treatment as conscription was suspended in 1997,ANP reports.
: Since 1997 every boy gets a letter at age 17 to say that he has reached
: conscription age, though the letter does not oblige him to join the military.
: From next year girls will also get that letter.
: Up until now the Ministry of Defense excluded women from conscription as they
: were behind on the labor market. But according to Defense Minister Jeanine
: Hennis-Plasschaert, women and men now have about equal education and training
: levels and equal treatment outweighs balancing disadvantages.
: 简单来说就是明年开始荷兰女性也要接受征兵，这是实现性别平权的措施。
: 荷兰于1997年实行征兵制，所有年满17岁的荷兰男性都会收到征兵的通知书。
第一段就翻错了，导致整个意思完全相反。
荷兰是1997年终止征兵，换言之1997年后的入伍者都是职业军人。
虽然全部的荷兰男性在年满17岁时都会接到“已达到征集年龄”的信件，
但这封信并没有赋予男性入伍的义务，
跟我们的征兵令完全不同。
: 但是，荷兰政府一直以女性在劳动市场处于弱势为理由，把女性排除在征兵对象之外。
: 此次政策的变化更多的是为了体现男女平等的象征性意义。

这段没错，但是第一段关键翻错之后，整个意思都不一样了耶...。
这篇新闻只是说作为性别平等的象征，征兵通知也会发给女性，
但是荷兰还是募兵制，无论何种性别接到征兵通知都不会因此必须要入伍。
真正简单地说，就是(荷兰的)国军人材招募中心未来会主动寄信给所有人。
跟女性也有服兵役义务是两码子事。
