Dear teachers,
Would you tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence?
UN Security Council is a perennial bone of contention among nations.
perennial = lasting an indefinitely long time; suggesting self-renewal
bone of contention = an apple of discord = main issue of a disagreement; something to quarrel about
Thank you for your efforts.
Regards,
V
