24.Who does a U.S. Senator represent?
24.美國參議員代表誰?
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!
解釋：這里有一件關于美國政府的趣事——即使你投票反對的人在選舉（或是看誰能獲得多數選票的競爭并且是被選來擔任政府公職的）中獲勝，他或她必須代表你！
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!
換句話說，如果你投票選擇A當參議員，但是B贏了，那么B必須代表你，就好像是你投了他或她的票一樣。
That is why we say that U.S. senators represent all the people of a state.
這就是為什么我們說美國參議員代表州里的所有人。
How does a senator do this?
參議員是怎么做到的呢？
Obviously (or clearly), a senator cannot meet and speak with all the people whom he or she represents.
很明顯（或很顯然），參議員不能和他或她代表的所有人見面和交談。
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).
這樣太耗時而且他或她將永遠無法參加參議院會議（或是與其他代表在一起的會議）。
