The laws are put into effect by the executive, which is a separate group of people and not part of the congress. In a parliamentary system the parliament is the legislature, and the executive is made up of a smaller group of people from within the parliament. * congress与parliament稍有不同,因为congress仅为立法机构(legislature),法律由congress以外的独立行政部门(the executive)实施。在议会制(parliamentary system)的国家,parliament是立法机构,行政部门由parliament内部的一小部分人组成。■senate (usually通常作the Senate) [countable + singular or plural verb, usually singular] one of the two groups of people who are elected to make laws in some countries, for example in the US, France and Australia参议院(美国、法国、澳大利亚等国的两个立法机构之一)◆The bill was passed by the Senate last month.该议案上个月在参议院通过了。ⓘ The Senate is the smaller of the two groups that make up a parliament or congress in some countries, but higher in rank.
