Andrea is played by the German actor Daniel Brühl. A gifted young Polish violinist from Krakow, Andrea is bound for America when he is swept overboard by a storm. When the Widdington sisters discover the handsome stranger on the beach below their house, they nurse him back to health. However, the presence of the musically talented young man disrupts the peaceful lives of Ursula and Janet and the community in which they live. Holidaying artist Olga Daniloff, the sister of famed violinist Boris Daniloff, becomes interested in Andrea after hearing him play the violin. As time progresses, Olga and Andrea grow closer. Olga tells her brother of Andrea's talent, and he asks to meet Andrea in London. Although Andrea cares deeply for the sisters, he knows this is his chance to start a career, and he leaves with Olga without saying goodbye to the women. He later sends them a letter, along with a portrait of himself painted by Olga, thanking them for saving his life. The sisters travel to London to attend Andrea's first public performance, while the rest of the village listens in on the wireless. wiki https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlGlgtSNK4Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeugstvSonM

It may not be so difficult to understand the meaning of the sentence, but it may not be easy to render a good translation for it in Chinese. 如果不是您指出来, 还真的没有仔细想过这两个字在翻译时会存在微妙且重要的区别。 一般来说 country 译为中文时会比较简单,不外乎国家,国土,地区,乡村,故乡; 偏向于地域性的内涵。 而 nation虽然含有近似的民族,国家,国民,部落等意思,可是在英译中时应该看语境小心而定; 特别是它在指国家时更旨于地理的政治或文化特征。然而中文“国家”一词体现不出这层意思, 这一点在“国家”一词中译英时更要特别小心。因为有时“国家”译为 “country”或“nation”均可,而在一些特定语境下只能用nation. 回到纪录片里的“country” and “nation”,根据语境的年代(1940s), 我想前一个是指“国家”, 后一个为“主权国”。个人的一点理解, 不全对。![](https://cfcdn.proz.com/images/bb/smiles/icon_smile.gif)

A people, or aggregation of men, existing in the form of an organized jural society, inhabiting a distinct portion of the earth, speaking the same language, using the same customs, possessing historic continuity, and distinguished from other like groups by their racial origin and characteristics, and generally, but not necessarily, living under the same government and sovereignty. See Montoya v. U. S., 180 U. S. 201, 21 Sup. Ct 358, 45 L. Ed. 521; Worcester v. Georgia, 6 Pet. 539, 8 L. Ed. 483; Republic of Honduras v. Soto, 112 N. Y. 310, 19 N. E. 845, 2 L. R. A. 042, 8 Am. St. Rep. 744. Besides the element of autonomy or self-government, that is, the independence of the community as a whole from the interference of any foreign power in its affairs or any subjection to such power, it is further necessary to the constitution of a nation that it should be an organized jural society, that is, both governing its own members by regular laws, and defining and protecting their rights, and respecting the rights and duties which attach to it as a constituent member of the family of nations. Such a society, says Vattel, has her affairs and her interests ; she deliberates and takes resolutions in common; thus becoming a moral person, who possesses an understanding and will peculiar to herself, and is susceptible of obligations and rights. Vattel. - Black's Law Dictionary http://thelawdictionary.org/nation/ 从法律观点看 country。 What is COUNTRY? The portion of the earth's surface occupied by an independent nation or people; or the inhabitants of such territory. In its primary meaning "country" signifies "place;" and. in a larger sense, the territory or dominions occupied by a community ; or even waste and unpeopled sections or regions of the earth. But its metaphorical meaning is no less definite and well understood; and in common parlance, in historical and geographical writings, in diplomacy, legislation, treaties, and international codes, the word is employed to denote the population, the nation, the state, or the government, having possession and dominion over a territory. Stairs v. Peaslee. 18 How. 521, 15 L. Ed. 474; U. S. v. Recorder, 1 Blatchf. 218. 225, 5 N. Y. Leg. Obs. 280, Fed. Cas. No. 16,129. In pleading and practice. The inhabitants of a district from which a jury is to be summoned ; pais ; a jury. 3 Bl. Comm. 349; Steph. PL 73, 78, 230. - Black's Law Dictionary http://thelawdictionary.org/country/ | | | ysun United States Local time: 17:05 English to Chinese + ... "a country, but not yet a nation” | Dec 14, 2014 |
QHE & he-li, 我同意你们对 “country” 和 “nation” 的理解。具体到这句话的翻译,我想,很难根据这两个词的定义而采用直译的方式,也许还是根据上下文的意思采用意译较好。因此,”China was a country, but not yet a nation” 这句话,也许可译为“中国虽然是一个国家,却依然一盘散沙(or 四分五裂)”("like broken pieces of a jigsaw puzzle")。九一八事变之前,中国诸侯割据、军阀混战。这就是中国会受小国欺负的主要原因之一。当然,我的意见只是为了抛砖引玉。我期待大家提出更好的建议。

我是觉得这句解说旁白是以 “in modern terms” 来起始的, 所以选择了 “国家” 和 “主权国” 来对应 "country", and "nation"。直译为: 依照现代的术语来讲, 中国当时是一个国家, 但不是一个主权国家。 个人的一点看法和大家探讨。 ![](https://cfcdn.proz.com/images/bb/smiles/icon_smile.gif)
