英文释义

名词 n.
  1. The office of a premier or prime minister.
    — There is a familiar pattern that has come to define Theresa May’s premiership. Encouraging rhetoric gets periodically wheeled out: the pledges to ease the burden on the “just about managing”; the promises to fight the “burning injustices” of social inequality. But then a few weeks later, the chancellor gets up at the dispatch box to deliver a budget or an autumn statement and it’s as if those words had never been uttered.
  2. The position held by the champion team at the end of a particular season (especially as used in Australian rules football). Australia
