<注釋>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.
美國(guó)獨(dú)立戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)掃除了英國(guó)的許多東西，但卻忽略了摒棄一個(gè)重要的英國(guó)政治術(shù)語(yǔ)。governor 這個(gè)單詞肯定被看作是一個(gè)美國(guó)官方職務(wù)， 因?yàn)橛?guó)沒(méi)有這樣的官方職務(wù)。然而governor 作政權(quán)統(tǒng)治者含義在英國(guó)有很長(zhǎng)的歷史。 在中世紀(jì)的英語(yǔ)里，governour 是 governor 的前身， 意思是.主權(quán)統(tǒng)治者.和.下一級(jí)統(tǒng)治者或代理統(tǒng)治者。.用后一個(gè)意思來(lái)指英國(guó)在北美的殖民地或其他地方的首腦是很貼切的。在美國(guó)殖民地時(shí)期，皇家總督不大為人所知，然而這個(gè)詞在獨(dú)立戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)以后并沒(méi)被廢除，實(shí)際上它被用來(lái)指美國(guó)建國(guó)以后各州的州長(zhǎng)了
