Generally there was a belief that the new nationsshould be sovereign and
independent states, largeenough to be economically viable and integrated bya
particular set of laws. 译文:通常有一种观点,认为新的国家应该是独立自主的,土地面积大到在经济上可以生存,并且通过一套特定的法律统一在一起。 点睛:that引导的是belief的同位语从句。sovereign和independent含义相近,表示“独立自主的”。largeenough...laws作states的补语,其中large和integrated是并列关系。 考点归纳:set作名词时有以下几个常见义项:
*一套,一组
a set of tools 一套工具
*(电视、无线电的)接收装置
a colour television set彩色电视机
*(舞台)布景,场景
The play wasn't good,but the set was impressive.
这出戏并不好,但布景倒是让人印象深刘。
