two-year terms / biennial
A manera de referencia: BIENNIAL
Main Entry: 1bi·en·ni·al
Function: adjective
Etymology: Latin biennium period of two years (from bi- + -ennium, from annus year) + English -al -- more at ANNUAL
1 : occurring, appearing, or being made, done, or acted upon every two years -- compare BIANNUAL
2 : continuing or lasting for two years -- used specifically of plants (as the parsnip) that require two growing seasons in which to go from seed to seed; compare ANNUAL
Pero me parece más recomendable usar la frase más común: "two-year"
