上院的

The cab stopped in the midst of Robert Audley's meditation, and he had to pay the cabman, and submit to all the dreary mechanism of life, which is the same whether we are glad or sorry--whether we are to be married or hung, elevated to the woolsack or disbarred by our brother benchers on some mysterious technical tangle of wrong-doing, which is a social enigma to those outside the Middle Temple.

罗伯特·奥德利沉思到中途时马车就停下来了，他得付给车夫车钱，得屈从于人生的一切可怕的机械装置：不论你高兴或是悲哀，那可都是一样的——不论你是结婚了还是给绞死了，不论你是升到了英国上院议长兼大法官的职位上，还是被律师协会的同仁们开除出了律师界——根据的却是神秘的技术观点所谓不道德行为的纠纷；就"中殿法学协会"的局外人看来，那可是社会之谜。

The party clung to a tenuous one-vote majority in the Upper House, only because of a gerrymandered apportionment system giving more seats to its traditional strongholds in rural areas.

这个党所以能在上院维持一票的微弱多数，就是因为那套不公正的选举制度，给它在农村地区的老据点多分了一些席位。

Liberty was untidier than that. It was students camped in his LSE office; it was cross-bench voting in the House of Lords, to which he was appointed in 1993; it was his father's passionate underlinings, in red crayon, in Max Weber's "Politics as a Vocation"; it was a schoolboy ripping up his prison mattress in order to write down, defiantly, all the Latin he knew.

自由比一个公民社会要来得纷杂多元：它是那些寄宿在他伦经办公室的莘莘学子；它是1993年那场令他成为英国上院独立议员的投票表决；它是他的父亲用朱笔在马克斯·韦伯的《作为一种职业的政治》一书中所勾画的那些热情洋溢的下划线；它是为了挑衅地写上他全部已知的拉丁文而撕破牢狱床垫的那名男学生。

He may also be sweating it out, hoping that success in the upper-house elections will enable him to eject his awkward bedfellows.

他也许会焦急的等待着，希望上院选举的胜利能帮他赶走那些糟糕的伙伴。

The government reacted to the news by proposing major new reform legislation that won approval in the lower chamber of parliament earlier this year and is now making its way through the Senate.

政府对此消息的反应是提议进行重大的立法改革。在今年年初，这个建议已赢得议会下院的批准，只待上院最后通过。

And whereas the said late King James the Second having abdicated the government and the throne being thereby vacant, his Highness the prince of Orange (whom it hath pleased Almighty God to make the glorious instrument of delivering this kingdom from popery and arbitrary power) did (by the advice of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and divers principal persons of the Commons) cause letters to be written to the Lords Spiritual and Temporal being Protestants, and other letters to the several counties, cities, universities, boroughs and cinque ports, for the choosing of such persons to represent them as were of right to be sent to Parliament, to meet and sit at Westminster upon the two and twentieth day of January in this year one thousand six hundred eighty and eight , in order to such an establishment as that their religion, laws and liberties might not again be in danger of being subverted, upon which letters elections having been accordingly made

鉴于不久前詹姆斯二世王放弃王位，因此空缺，奥兰治亲王殿下（他做了一件让万能的上帝高兴的事情，通过光荣的方式令王国从天主教与专制的权力下走出来）（在教会高级神职人员和贵族，以及各种普通民众重要人员的建议下）召集新教教会高级神职人员和贵族的上院代表，以及几个郡，城市，大学，自由市镇，和港口同盟的通过合法的选举有权代表他们参加国会的下院代表，于1688年1月22日在威斯敏斯特集会，为了他们的诸如宗教信仰，法律，和自由的建立不再处于被颠覆的危险之中，这些在召集信中已经得到说明。

His best- known duty is to go from the lord to summon the commons to attend the opening of parliament and hear the queen's speech.

他最被人了解的职责是：从上院召唤下院议员参加议会的开幕并倾听女王的发言。

Plunder melds and run with this jewel!

掠夺melds和运行与此宝石！

My dream is to be a crazy growing tree and extend at the edge between the city and the forest.

此刻，也许正是在通往天国的路上，我体验着这白色的晕旋。
