第031句

Generally there was a belief that the new nations should be sovereign and independent states, large enough to be economically viable and integrated by a particular set of laws.

译文：通常有一种观点，认为新的国家应该是独立自主的，土地面积大到在经济上可以生存，并且通过一套特定的法律统一在一起。

点睛：that引导的是belief的同位语从句。sovereign和independent含义相近，表示“独立自主的”。large enough...laws作states的补语，其中large和integrated是并列关系。

考点归纳：set作名词时有以下几个常见义项：

*一套，一组
a set of tools 一套工具

*（电视、无线电的）接收装置
a colour television set彩色电视机

*（舞台）布景，场景
The play wasn't good,but the set was impressive.
这出戏并不好，但布景倒是让人印象深刘。
