Explanation: World War II, or the Second World War, was truly a global war, or a war that affected the whole world.
解释:二战或第二次世界大战是真正的全球性的战争,或者说是影响了整个世界的战争。
Most of the powerful countries in the world were involved in the war in one of two alliances (or groups of countries that work together during a war): the Allies and the Axis.
参加这场战争的世界上大多数的强国分列两大同盟(或战争期间共同作战的国家集团):同盟国和轴心国。
The Allies included the United States, the United Kingdom, the USSR (which would later become Russia and other countries), France, and Poland.
同盟国包括美国、英国、苏联(它后来解体为俄罗斯及其他的国家)、法国和波兰。
The Axis included Germany, Italy, and Japan.
轴心国包括德国、意大利和日本。
Membership or participation in each of the alliances was fluid, meaning that it changed over time as some countries became part of the Allies and the Axis and other countries left them.
每个同盟里的成员国是流动的,意思是随着时间的推移,一些国家成为了联盟国和轴心国的一员,而另一些国家却脱离了他们。
The United States was a late entrant to the war, meaning that the U.S. was not one of the first countries in World War II, but began fighting later.
美国是这场战争的后来者,意思是美国不是第一批参加二战的国家,但却在后来开始参战。
