Mps
“MPs” 是 “Members of Parliament” 的缩写,指议会成员、国会议员。在英国新闻中最常见,单数形式为 MP。大写 MP(s) 专指议员身份,与小写 mp(音乐文件格式)不同。
- “Several MPs questioned the minister about the new policy.” (几位议员就新政策向部长提出质询。)
- “The bill passed after MPs voted late into the night.” (议员们投票至深夜后,法案获得通过。)
- “Local MPs met with residents to discuss housing costs.” (当地议员与居民会面,讨论住房成本问题。)
“MP” 来自 “Member of Parliament”:member(成员)+ parliament(议会),是英语政治体系中的固定缩写。
“MPs” 是缩写加复数 “-s”,不是由普通词根词缀构成的单词。
在英国及多个英联邦国家,“MPs” 常出现在议会辩论、选举和媒体报道中;美国对应说法通常是 members of Congress 或 representatives/senators。
- 单数: MP (Member of Parliament)
- 全称: Members of Parliament
M = Member,P = Parliament,加 s 就是多位议员 MPs。
“After the debate, MPs from both parties agreed to review the proposal again next week.” (辩论结束后,两党议员同意下周再次审议该提案。)
