"Nobody in America will agree with everything that is in this bill, but I think enough people in America will find it acceptable, so it will go to the president's desk to be signed," House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D., Mass.) said.

Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd (D., Conn.) and Sen. Richard Shelby (R., Ala.) issued a joint statement saying they were "optimistic about the prospects for this legislation." The Senate could vote later this week.


这是今天的华尔街日报一篇报道,有英文优秀的色友指点一下,括号中的 (D., Mass.) (D., Conn.) (R., Ala.) 等是什么意思.是不是表明这些议员来自的州名.麻省  阿拉斯加什么的.

楼主你猜对了一半，Mass，Conn，Ala就是州名，其中Conn是康州。而前面的D.和R.就代表了民主党和共和党这两大美国党派了

太感谢了,看这些美国报纸老是搞不懂括号中的含义,谢谢帮我解惑.N多年没接触英语,全靠以前的老底子.
