scotland's first minister 首席部长 / 第一总理 Explanation: BBC uses "首席部长" news.bbc.co.uk/hi/chinese/news/ newsid_3243000/32435181.stm "第一总理" is another name for "First Minister": "苏格兰第一总理麦康纳(Jack McConnell)日前宣布全英首座的科技中介中心(Intermediary Technology Institutes)将在苏格兰正式成立..." More info on "First Minister": In Scotland, the "First Minister" is actually the "Prime Minister". 'Holyrood Jargon' by Iain Watson, Sunday Herald, 16 May 1999. "'First' and 'Prime' mean the same thing. But, as Westminster is sovereign, and to avoid confusion, we have a FM and not a PM. No thought was given to the inconvenience this would cause reporting the opening of Scotland's parliament. So Donald Dewar becomes the 'first First Minister', which, in print, looks like a typo, and in speech sounds like a fluffed line." http://www.alba.org.uk/scottish/butehouse.html Although Tony Blair is insisting that the Scottish Premier be known as 'First Minister' in order to underline his own superiority, everyone is likely to call the leader of Scotland's first government, 'Prime Minister'. |
