“Dominion”来自拉丁语 “dominium”,由 “dominus”(主人)组成,原意为”所有权”。

可以将 “dominion” 与 “dominate”(支配)联系起来,两者都含有 “domin-” 词根。

In the old stories, kings had dominion over vast territories - they controlled everything within their borders and made all the decisions. Having dominion meant having power and control, but it also came with responsibility. Today, dominion is more about influence and control in specific areas rather than absolute rule.

在古老的故事中,国王对广阔的领土有统治权——他们控制边界内的一切并做出所有决定。拥有统治意味着拥有权力和控制,但它也伴随着责任。今天,统治更多是关于在特定领域的影响和控制,而不是绝对统治。
