核心畫面

Think of the chair rather than the person sitting in it. A president is someone; the presidency is the seat itself — the top position in a country, a company or a club — and by extension the stretch of time one person occupies that seat.

可以想成：president 指的是「那個人」，presidency 指的是「那張椅子」——一個國家、一家公司或一個…更多收起可以想成：president 指的是「那個人」，presidency 指的是「那張椅子」——一個國家、一家公司或一個社團最高的那個位子，以及某個人坐在那張椅子上的那段時間。所以同一個字既可以說 She won the presidency.（拿到那個位子），也可以說 during his presidency（他在位的那幾年）。位子和任期是同一個畫面的兩面：椅子擺在那裡不會動，換的是坐的人和坐多久。
