新任與回任議員正式就任 Rajya Sabha 議員
Introduction
On Monday, Chairman C.P. Radhakrishnan officially swore in eight members of the Rajya Sabha, including Mallikarjun Kharge and Tarun Chugh.
週一，主席 C.P. Radhakrishnan 正式為 Rajya Sabha 的八位議員主持宣誓就職，其中包括 Mallikarjun Kharge 與 Tarun Chugh。
Main Body
The process began with Mallikarjun Kharge taking his oath in the Chairman's private office. This event was attended by senior Congress leaders, such as Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, as well as several Union Ministers. Afterward, the Chairman swore in seven more members in the main Rajya Sabha chamber. These members came from various states, including Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Karnataka, and they took their oaths in different languages, such as Hindi, Kannada, and Punjabi.
整個過程由 Mallikarjun Kharge 在主席私人辦公室宣誓開始。當時有國大黨高級領袖出席，例如 Sonia Gandhi 與 Priyanka Gandhi Vadra，以及幾位聯邦部長。隨後，主席在 Rajya Sabha 主議事廳為另外七位議員主持宣誓。這些議員來自不同邦，包括古吉拉特邦、馬哈拉施特拉邦與卡納塔克邦，並分別使用印地語、卡納達語與旁遮普語等不同語言宣誓。
Furthermore, Mallikarjun Kharge was officially recognized as the Leader of the Opposition starting from June 26. Secretary-General P.C. Mody confirmed that this appointment followed the legal rules set by the 1977 Act regarding salaries and allowances for opposition leaders. Mr. Kharge emphasized that he aims to make the government more accountable and improve cooperation with the INDIA bloc during the upcoming Monsoon Session. Meanwhile, BJP leader Tarun Chugh visited a Gurdwara before his induction, stating that he wants to contribute to the country's progress.
此外，Mallikarjun Kharge 自 6 月 26 日起正式被認可為反對黨領袖。秘書長 P.C. Mody 確認，此次任命是遵循 1977 年關於反對黨領袖薪金與津貼的法律條例。Kharge 先生強調，他的目標是讓政府提高問責制，並在即將到來的季風會期內，改善與 INDIA 陣營的合作。與此同時，BJP 領袖 Tarun Chugh 在就職前參訪了錫克教廟 (Gurdwara)，表示希望為國家的進步做出貢獻。
Conclusion
The swearing-in ceremony for the eight members is now finished, and the leadership of the opposition has been officially restored.
八位議員的宣誓就職儀式現已結束，反對黨的領導層也正式恢復。
Vocabulary Learning
🚀 The 'A2 to B2' Power-Up: Moving Beyond Simple Verbs
At the A2 level, you describe the world using simple actions: "He said," "He went," "They started." To reach B2, you need Precision Verbs. These are words that tell us how and why something happened, not just that it happened.
🔍 The Precision Shift
Look at these three transitions from the text. Notice how the B2 version adds professional weight and specific meaning:
| A2 Level (Simple) | B2 Level (Precise) | Why it's better |
|---|---|---|
| Give a promise | Swore in / Took an oath | It's not just a promise; it's a legal, formal ceremony. |
| Say / Talk about | Emphasized | It shows the speaker is putting strong importance on a specific point. |
| Join / Start | Induction | It describes the formal process of entering a high-level organization. |
🛠️ How to Use "Emphasize" (Your New B2 Weapon)
Instead of saying "He said that the government is important," use emphasize to show strength:
"Mr. Kharge emphasized that he aims to make the government more accountable."
Pro Tip: Use this in your next English presentation or essay. Instead of saying "I want to say that...", try "I would like to emphasize that..." It immediately makes you sound more fluent and authoritative.
💡 Linguistic Pattern: The "Official" Tone
B2 English often uses Passive-adjacent structures to sound objective.
- A2: "The Chairman swore in the members." (Focus on the person)
- B2: "The swearing-in ceremony... is now finished." (Focus on the event/result)
The B2 Habit: Stop focusing only on who did the action. Start describing the process or the status of the situation.
