第15解

Attorney General

【英文】The Attorney General advises the government on the points of law and represents the Crown in court.He must be a practicing barrister and a member of Parliament who supports the government party.The Prime Minister appoints him.

【译文】总检察长为政府提供法律方面的建议，并且在法庭上代表国王。他必须是一名执业巴律师，而且是支持执政党的议员。总检察长由首相任命。

【解释】在英国，Attorney General意为“总检察长”。“副检察长”为Solicitor General。

再如：

The Solicitor General is the deputy of the Attorney General.Like the Attorney General he must be a practicing barrister and a member of Parliament supporting the government party.He is appointed by the Prime Minister.The Attorney General and the Solicitor General are called the “law officers”.〔译文：副总检察长是总检察长的副手。同检察长一样，他必须是一名执业巴律师，而且是支持执政党的议员，由首相任命。总检察长和副总检察长称为“司法官员”。〕
