不再执政 drop the reins of government
- 而且,国民党不再执政后,我的生活轻松许多,日子过得优闲。
What's more, I have lived a leisure life since the Kuomintang dropped the reins of the government. - 但至少新奇感褪色了:近一年过去了,多党执政不再那么突兀了。
But at least the novelty is wearing off: nearly a year on, multiparty rule no longer feels quite so alien. - 这次的不同在于“老”和“新”之间的历史分界不再是共产党执政的1949“解放”之年。
The difference this time was that the historical break between "old" and "new" was no longer 1949, the year of "Liberation" that saw the Communist Party take power.
