the Rump Parliament
/ðə ˌrʌmp ˈpɑːləmənt/
/ðə ˈrʌmp pɑːrləmənt/
- a name given to the parliament that governed Britain from 1648 to 1653 and from 1659 to 1660, after the Long Parliament had been reduced in size. (The rump of something is a small part left from something that was much bigger.) It voted for the trial and execution of King Charles I and ended just before the Restoration.
臀部议会：在长议会规模缩小后，从1648年至1653年和1659年至1660年统治英国的议会得名。（有些东西的残渣只剩下一个更大的东西。）它投票赞成查理一世国王的审判和处决，并在恢复前就结束了。
