- 1州長的（美式書面語，多用於州長選舉）
Gubernatorial means “about a governor” — the person who leads a state, especially in the United States. You meet it most in the news: a gubernatorial election is the vote for governor; a gubernatorial candidate wants that job. It is a heavy, formal, Latin-sounding word. Everyday English is happy with “the governor’s race” or “the election for governor”. British English hardly needs it, because the UK does not use “governor” in the same way for regional leaders. Though actually the fancy shape is just the old Latin for “governor” dressed up as an adjective; it is not a different idea from “governor’s”.
From the word’s history
From Latin gubernātor 'governor', from gubernō 'govern', + -ial.
源自拉丁文 gubernātor「統治者」，來自 gubernō「治理」。
組成From Latin gubernātor (“governor”), from gubernō (“to govern / to steer”), plus the English adjective ending -ial.
