A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
国家
National

Because they want more advertisements, they are destroying what is a very important part of the society - news reporting. It is wasting important national space that should be used in a more productive manner.
因为他们想要更多的广告，他们正在破坏社会的一个非常重要的部分——新闻报道。它正在浪费应该以更有效的方式使用的重要的国家空间。
The Chautauqua Institution is truly a national treasure. It is a place for contemplation and a place for reflection, a place where platitudes and slogans can be set aside and be replaced by thoughtfulness and introspection.
乔陶夸大学是名副其实的国宝。它是一个沉思的地方，一个反思的地方，一个可以抛开陈词滥调和口号，代之以深思和反省的地方。
It's not that I'm universally loved. We know I'm not in New Jersey. But what they do say in New Jersey is, 'We like him, and we think he's telling us the truth.' I think we need to have that type of politics on the national level.
并不是所有人都爱我。我们知道我不在新泽西。但在新泽西，人们确实说，‘我们喜欢他，我们认为他在告诉我们真相。他说，我认为我们需要在全国范围内推行这种政治。
Talk of citizenship today is often thin and tinny. The word has a faintly old-fashioned feel to it when used in everyday conversation. When evoked in national politics, it's usually accompanied by the shrill whine of a descending culture-war mortar.
今天关于公民身份的讨论常常是空洞无物的。这个词在日常会话中有一种略微过时的感觉。当它在国家政治中被唤起时，通常伴随着文化战争迫击炮轰鸣而来。
The National Flood Insurance Program is a valuable tool in addressing the losses incurred throughout this country due to floods. It assures that businesses and families have access to affordable flood insurance that would not be available on the open market.

The right wing has had a radio apparatus for years and years, so they've had minor leagues - they've had local rightwing guys who've become national rightwing guys, and who build slowly, and that's how it goes. We haven't had that. It isn't like we have a farm team.
