imagined communities

基本解释

In fact, all communities larger than primordial villages of face-to-face contact (and perhaps even these) are imagined.
其实，一个共同体，只要比面对面接触的原始村落更大（或许甚至连这样的村落），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.
我无法想象，游牧部落的后裔们还在承受着和其祖先相同的偏见。 Radhakrishna说。
Communities are to be distinguished, not by their falsity/genuineness, but by the style in which they are imagined.
区别不同共同体，不是根据其是虚假还是真实，而是根据其被想像的方式。
