释义 | 〔governor〕The American Revolution did away with much that was British,but it neglected to discard an important British political term.The wordgovernor certainly seems to denote a very American office, and England has no corresponding official with that title for its counties.Nonetheless,governor has had a long history in English with reference to political rulers. In Middle Englishgovernour, the ancestor of governor, meant both "a sovereign ruler" and "a subordinate or substitute ruler.”In the later sense it was a natural term to use for heads of the British colonies in North America as well as elsewhere.During our colonial periodroyal governors were often unpopular,yet the word was not dropped after the Revolutionary Warand in fact was chosen to designate the executive head of a state when the United States of America was created.美国独立战争扫除了英国的许多东西,但却忽略了摒弃一个重要的英国政治术语。governor 这个单词肯定被看作是一个美国官方职务, 因为英国没有这样的官方职务。然而governor 作政权统治者含义在英国有很长的历史。 在中世纪的英语里,governour 是 governor 的前身, 意思是“主权统治者”和“下一级统治者或代理统治者。”用后一个意思来指英国在北美的殖民地或其他地方的首脑是很贴切的。在美国殖民地时期,皇家总督不大为人所知,然而这个词在独立战争以后并没被废除,实际上它被用来指美国建国以后各州的州长了〔voidable〕That can be voided and especially annulled:可以作废的:可被取消的,尤指被废除的:〔Claudius〕Roman decemvir (451-449) whose actions provoked a plebian revolt and the overthrow of the decemvirs.克劳狄乌斯,阿皮尤斯:(5世纪) 罗马十人执政团成员(451-449),其行为激起平民暴动和十人执政团被废除〔anarchism〕The theory or doctrine that all forms of government are oppressive and undesirable and should be abolished.无政府主义:一种理论或主义,认为所有形式的政府都是暴虐的、不受欢迎的,应当被废除〔Pannonia〕An ancient Roman province of central Europe including present-day western Hungary and northern Yugoslavia.
