The use ofcohort to refer to an individual rather than a group has gained considerable currency in recent years, and seems now to be the predominant usage.Seventy-one percent of the Usage Panel accepts the sentence 使用cohort 来指个别的而不是一群的在近年已很流行， 现在似乎已大量地使用。百分之七十一的用法专题使用小组成员接受这个句子 例句：The cashiered dictator and his cohorts have all written their memoirs, 被革职的执政官和他的同谋者已经写了他们的实录，
while only 43 percent accepts 而只有百分之四十三的成员接受 例句：The gangster walked into the room surrounded by his cohort. · 一名匪徒走进被他的一帮人包围的屋子。
Perhaps because of its original military meaning,cohort usually implies a somewhat negative judgment. A phrase such asthe President and his cohorts might therefore be better used by critics of the President than by defenders. 也许由于它原来的军事意义，cohort 通常表示某些否定的看法。 因此，例如总统和他的一帮人 也许会更好地由总统的批评者而不是支持者使用
