Question

senator n.参议员 (1) 这位参议员反对这条法律。(2) 这位参议员投票支持总统。(3) 那位参议员非正式地向与会者发表演说。(4) 该参议员抨击增加税收。 Each state in the US elects two senators who serve six-year terms in Washington, DC, where they pass laws and vote on policies. Other countries have senators as well, either elected or appointed. The word senator has been used in English since around 1200, from the Latin word, senex, or "old man." This is especially appropriate when you know that men have far outnumbered women in the US senate and that the first female senator wasn't elected until 1932.
