shogun
/ˈʃəʊguːn/noun
- a hereditary commander-in-chief in feudal Japan. Because of the military power concentrated in his hands and the consequent weakness of the nominal head of state (the mikado or emperor), the shogun was generally the real ruler of the country until feudalism was abolished in 1867.幕府将军（日本封建时代世袭的最高军事指挥官, 掌握着军权, 削弱了名义元首［天皇］的地位, 在1867年日本废除封建制度前, 实际上一直是国家真正的统治者）。
