  1. 1n/ˈsoʊviət/ · /ˈsəʊviət/蘇維埃（代表會議）

    A council of elected members that made decisions in the former Soviet Union and some other communist countries.

    soviet（小寫）原本指共產國家裡「一個由選出來的代表組成的會議」，負責地方或全國的決定。這個字來自俄文，意思就是「會議、委員會」。大寫的 Soviet 常用來講「蘇聯的」（the Soviet Union 蘇聯）。這是歷史課才會遇到的字，日常英文很少用。

Wiktionary

Picture a room of elected representatives sitting together and deciding things for the people who sent them — a council. That is what the noun names: a unit of government in the former Soviet Union and in some other communist states, from a small local one up to the highest one in the country.

可以想成 soviet 的畫面是一間會議室，裡面坐著一群選出來的代表，替派他們來的人決定事情——也就是一個「代表會議」。這個名詞指的就是這種組織：從前蘇聯以及一些共產國家的政府單位，小到地方層級，大到全國最高的那一級。
