governor general
在加拿大政府垮台的新闻里用到governor general 这个词,请教高人,按照惯例怎样翻译
参考答案:The Governor General of Canada
加拿大总督
---------------------------------------------
加拿大总督是英国女王在加的常驻代表,由总理推荐并由英女王任命,一般任期5年,有时延长至7年。请注意:总督的职位只是象征性的,没有行政实权,主要职责是召集和解散议会,任命民选产生的总理及其政府,接待来访国家元首等。
该职位年薪11万加元,还有两处可供使用的官邸。

The Canadian Governor General is selected by the Prime Minister of Canada, although the formal appointment is made by the Queen. The term of office of the Governor General is usually five years, but it is sometimes extended up to seven years. There is a tradition of alternating between anglophone and francophone Governors General in Canada.
