24.Who does a U.S. Senator represent?
24.美国参议员代表谁?
Answer: All people of the state
回答：州里的所有人
Explanation: Here's an interesting thing about the U.S. government: even if you vote against the person who wins an election (or a competition to see who gets the most votes and is chosen for a public position), he or she has to represent you!
解释：这里有一件关于美国政府的趣事——即使你投票反对的人在选举（或是看谁能获得多数选票的竞争并且是被选来担任政府公职的）中获胜，他或她必须代表你！
In other words, if you vote for person A to become senator, but person B wins, then person B must represent you just as if you had voted for him or her!
换句话说，如果你投票选择A当参议员，但是B赢了，那么B必须代表你，就好像是你投了他或她的票一样q8)#=b|!A)。
That is why we say that U.S. senators represent all the people of a state.
这就是为什么我们说美国参议员代表州里的所有人YM[FQhe^!8#)18t。
How does a senator do this?
参议员是怎么做到的呢？
Obviously (or clearly), a senator cannot meet and speak with all the people whom he or she represents.
很明显（或很显然），参议员不能和他或她代表的所有人见面和交谈)p[qF5-!qrcdi[I。
This would take up too much time and he or she would never be able to attend the Senate sessions (or meetings with other representatives).
这样太耗时而且他或她将永远无法参加参议院会议（或是与其他代表在一起的会议）DaI.|j+QV*1J~k|。
