Under our first president, George Washington, the Cabinet had only four members:
乔治·华盛顿总统的内阁只有四位成员:
the Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of War, and Attorney General.
国务卿、财政部长、战争部长、司法部长。
Today, the Cabinet has 15 members.

However, not all 15 are equally important.
然而,不是所有15位成员都是同等重要的。
Some have much more power than others.
有的成员的权力比其他人要大。
The four most important Cabinet members are the same ones that George Washington had,
最重要的四位内阁成员和当年乔治·华盛顿的是一样的,
although their titles (or the names of their jobs) have changed a little bit.
只不过他们的头衔(或他们工作的称谓)稍有变化。
