Can you imagine trying to make laws or to get any work done without a clear leader who can guide (or lead) all those people?
你能想象在沒有一位能夠引領（或領導）那些人的領導人的情形下而試圖立法或干好任何工作嗎？
The person who does this is called the Speaker of the House of Representatives, which is a very important position in U.S. government.
從事這份工作的人稱為眾議員議長，它是美國政府中的要職。
The Speaker of the House not only leads the House of Representatives, but also is in the presidential line of succession (or the plan for who will become president if something happens to the president).
眾議院議長不但要領導眾議院，而且還處于繼任總統的隊伍里（或如果總統發生意外，誰將成為總統的方案）。
If the president can no longer be president, then his or her replacement would be the vice president, but if he or she cannot be president either, then the Speaker of the House becomes president.
如果總統無法履職了，那么他或她的繼任者就是副總統，但如果他或她也無法擔任總統，那么就由眾議院議長擔任總統。
The Speaker of the House is a member of the House of Representatives.
眾議院議長是眾議員。
The 435 members of the House vote to decide who will be the Speaker.
議長由435名眾議員選舉產生。
Usually the Speaker is a member of the majority party (or the political party that most representatives are a member of), but not always.
通常議長是多數黨的成員（或大多數議員屬于該政黨），但也有例外。
