country, nation, state——三個(gè)詞在做“國(guó)家”解時(shí)是同義詞.
1、country 著重指疆土、國(guó)土、家園,加the可以表示國(guó)民.如：
Japan is an island country.日本是一個(gè)島國(guó).
All the country voted yesterday.昨天全國(guó)都投票了.
2、nation 著重指人民,可譯成“民族”、“國(guó)民（總稱(chēng)）”.如：
He is loved by the whole nation.他受到全體國(guó)民的愛(ài)戴.
3、state 著重指政權(quán)、國(guó)家機(jī)器.如：
Railways in China belong to the state.中國(guó)的鐵路是國(guó)家所有.
a head of state.國(guó)家元首.
希望對(duì)您有所幫助.
