Plain English

after that,can u translate it to chinese?

Ah! It is too difficult to me because sometimes we don't have the notions in Chinese, the example is:

We are now perhaps in a position to distinguish the idea of country from certain other kindred notions —state, nation, society.

我們現或許能夠分別從某些相似觀念 - state ( 國家 ), nation (國家), society ( 社會)

I think this is the mission impossible for me!

Anyway, if I have time, maybe I can translate it paragraph by paragragh for certain period.

Cantonese is really difficult for me to distinguish,but i will try,anyway, thx a lot! :P

It could be that you are the only recent poster who understands Dutch.

As for your second question, it's a little like German, isn't it? (I understand German a little.)

Does the word "dutch" mean you come from Holland or Germany? I am sorry, I really don't know the meaning.

[RonBee]

The Dutch come from the Netherlands AKA Holland. Dutch is a Germanic language (as is English).

(AKA = also known as)
