Rule is more often used to talk about an individual who has political power but has not been elected, such as a king or queen, an emperor, dictator or military ruler. It can also be used about a small group of people who exercise power over the rest of the country, sometimes in a less direct way: in this meaning it is often used like an adjective. * govern指一国政府或党派对国家或地区进行法定的治理，执政的政府或政党通常是通过选举产生。rule较常指拥有政治权力但非经由民选的个人实施统治，如国王或女王、皇帝、独裁者或军事统治者等。rule也指一小群人有时以不太直接的方式对其他国民行使权力，表达此义时，rule常像形容词一样使用◆the ruling party / coalition / classes / elite执政党／联盟；统治阶级／精英 ■ be in power
