the Chiltern Hundreds
/ðə ˌtʃɪltən ˈhʌndrədz/
/ðə ˌtʃɪltərn ˈhʌndrədz/
- an administrative region that used to exist in Buckinghamshire. British Members of Parliament are not allowed to leave their job during the course of a Parliament, but the person with the traditional job of looking after the Chiltern Hundreds is not allowed to be an Member of Parliament, so any MP who wishes to leave can apply for the Chiltern Hundreds as a way of leaving parliament. A hundred was, in the past, a division of a county in England, so called because it contained around one hundred families.
Chiltern数百人：白金汉郡曾经存在的行政区域。英国国会议员不得在国会任职期间离职，但传统上照看奇尔特恩数百人的人不得担任国会议员，因此任何希望离职的议员都可以申请代表奇尔特恩数百人离开议会。过去，一百个县是英格兰一个县的一个分区，之所以这样称呼是因为它包含大约一百个家庭。
