Whether or not Congress and the President have the same political affiliation can change during an administration (or the period of time when one person is serving or working as president).
不論國會和總統的政黨是否相同，在某屆政府期間都可能會發生改變（或某人擔任總統的時間）。
That's because the president is elected every four years, but Congress is elected more often.
這是因為總統每四年選一次，而國會的選舉更加頻繁。
Members of the House of Representatives are elected every two years.
眾議員每兩年選舉一次。
Members of the Senate are elected for six years, but one-third (or 33%) of them are elected every two years, so the political affiliation of the majority (or the bigger part, more than 50% of the members) can change every two years.
參議員的任期為六年，但有三分之一（或33%）的議員每兩年選舉一次，因此國會多數黨（或人數更多的一方，超過一半的議員）的政黨每兩年就可能發生改變。
This means that a president might begin his or her administration or term with a Congress that has a majority (or over 50%) of its members from the same party, but at the end of the administration, the situation might have reversed itself (or become the opposite).
這就意味著某位總統開始執政時，其政黨的成員可能是國會的多數黨（或議員人數超過一半），但該屆政府結束的時候，這一局面可能發生逆轉（或變得正相反了）。
Presidents try to take advantage of (or use the opportunity to get the most or best results) the time when the majority of Congress members have the same political affiliation, because this is when the president can most easily pursue (or try to get) his or her agenda (or the plan of what a person wants to get done while working in a public job).
總統會充分利用（或把握獲得最多或最好結果的機會）其與國會多數黨的政黨相同這一時機，因為這是總統最容易實現（或設法取得）其政治抱負（或某人擔任政府公職時想要做什么的計劃）的時候。
