the Model Parliament
/ðə ˌmɒdl ˈpɑːləmənt/
/ðə ˌmɑːdl ˈpɑːrləmənt/
- the name later given to the English parliament set up in 1295 by King Edward I. It was the first to include not only members of the clergy (= priests and other church officials) and the aristocracy but also elected members to represent ordinary people. In this way it established the pattern for future parliaments.
模范议会:后来由爱德华一世国王于1295年建立的英国议会的名称。它是第一个不仅包括神职人员(教士和其他教会官员)和贵族成员,还包括当选议员的代表普通人。这样,它为未来的议会建立了格局。
