[2011.04.20] 议员满屋

BRITAIN’S House of Lords is full
译成“英国上院已经坐不开人了”比较好。据说由于人多屋小，竟有议员为了争座位而吵架。

There have been 117 appointments to the upper house in under a year, even though the government has committed to reducing the number of MPs in the lower house, the House of Commons, by 50 at the next election
不到一年的时间里，上院就增加了117个席位，而政府也决定在下届选举中缩减50个下院席位。
我觉得被动式英文里面比较普遍，而中文里面不经常用。再者议院中增加的那不是人，是席位。
还有对这句话的逻辑不清楚，上半句讲上院多了多少人，下半句又扯到下院了。。。。有明白的吗？

看来英国绅士也是徒有虚名啊
It seems English gentlemen enjoy an undeserved fame.
