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.美国独立战争扫除了英国的许多东西，但却忽略了摒弃一个重要的英国政治术语。governor 这个单词肯定被看作是一个美国官方职务， 因为英国没有这样的官方职务。然而governor 作政权统治者含义在英国有很长的历史。 在中世纪的英语里，governour 是 governor 的前身， 意思是“主权统治者”和“下一级统治者或代理统治者。”用后一个意思来指英国在北美的殖民地或其他地方的首脑是很贴切的。在美国殖民地时期，皇家总督不大为人所知，然而这个词在独立战争以后并没被废除，实际上它被用来指美国建国以后各州的州长了〔woolly〕Having the characteristics of the rough, generally lawless atmosphere of the American frontier:粗犷的，不受法律约束的：具有粗野的特征的，通常指美国拓荒者的无法律气氛的：〔commonwealth〕Used to refer to some U.S. states, namely, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.美国的州：用于指美国某些州，例如肯塔基、马里兰、马萨诸塞、宾夕法尼亚和弗吉尼亚〔gringa〕Used as a disparaging term for a foreign woman in Latin America, especially an American or English woman.外国姥：被用作为描述在拉丁美洲外国妇女的轻蔑用语，尤其是指美国或英国的妇女 |
