    示範例句 · Example

    In class we learned that a legislative body writes and votes on new laws.

    逐字在課堂上我們學到立法機關撰寫並表決新的法律。

    「legislative」形容「跟制定法律有關的」,例如 legislative power(立法權)、a legislative body(立法機關,像立法院)。它跟 executive(行政的)、judicial(司法的)並列,是政府三種權力之一。可以想成從 legislate(立法)長出來的形容詞。

core核心畫面

Picture the room where laws are written and voted on, and everything that belongs to that room — the people in it, the powers it holds, the work it does. This word is the label for that whole side of a government, as opposed to the side that carries the laws out or the side that judges them.

可以想成:法律被寫出來、被表決通過的那個議場,以及屬於那個議場的一切——裡面的人、它握有的權力、它做的事。這個字就是替政府的那一塊貼標籤,用來跟「執行法律」和「審判」的另外兩塊分開。
