imagined communities

基本解釋

In fact, all communities larger than primordial villages of face-to-face contact (and perhaps even these) are imagined.
其實，一個共同體，只要比面對面接觸的原始村落更大（或許甚至連這樣的村落），都是想像的。
"I would never have imagined that the descendants of these communities would be viewed with exactly the same prejudices, " Radhakrishna says.
我無法想象，游牧部落的后裔們還在承受著和其祖先相同的偏見。 Radhakrishna說。
Communities are to be distinguished, not by their falsity/genuineness, but by the style in which they are imagined.
區(qū)別不同共同體，不是根據(jù)其是虛假還是真實，而是根據(jù)其被想像的方式。
