The only drawback to being a member of the noble or senatorial class was that senators were expected to be above having business interests.

作为贵族老院阶级的员的唯缺点是老不应有商业利益。

For its part, the Senatorial optimates chose one of the consuls for eighty seven BC, Lucius Cornelius Sulla, a patrician and once Marius's trusted lieutenant.

而老院选择了卢修斯·科尼利厄斯·苏拉，公前87年的执政官之，苏拉出身贵族，曾是马略的心腹中尉。

On the other side were the Senatorial optimates, allied with the assassins of Caesar or the so-called republicans, led by the silver-tongued old statesman Cicero.

另方是老院老和凯撒的刺杀组成的联盟。凯撒刺杀就是所谓的共和，这派由雄辩的资深政治家西塞罗领导。

The annual elections continued as before, the legislative assemblies met as before, the senatorial class accepted Proconsulships and the Equestrian class continued to get rich thanks to its special relationship with the Princeps.

每年的选举照旧进行，立法议会照进进行，老阶层接受了总督，骑士阶层继续受益于和首的特殊关系。

The senatorial class was composed of all descendants of former magistrates, but in principle restricted to those who, at least officially, stayed out of business life in order to play a role in the Senate.

老院阶级由以前的地方执政官的后代组成但是至少在官方上原则上受限于那些远离商业生活想要在老院谋得职的人。
