引用自"Merriam Webster" bicommunal词条
0 B0 X$ K3 q+ ~+ P7 S3 D& A) C, ~+ G
: involving or including two distinct communities of people : of, relating to, or being a society composed of two distinct or separate communities often with conflicting interests
6 B. }. J4 e3 F$ q<In the Canadian federation, there is a strong bicommunal element, given the fundamental English-speaking and French-speaking division. — Ronald L. Watts, Autonomy and Ethnicity: Negotiating Competing Claims in Multi-ethnic States, 2000>
- g, X2 g$ b9 G<In any case, neither the EU nor any supranational structure would possess any innate advantage in attempts to resolve bicommunal disputes such as that in Northern Ireland. — Derek W. Urwin, Regions and Regionalism in Europe, 2004> 3 @$ {# x+ Y; v) A& c! ]0 N
<Perhaps most importantly, Rwanda can be described as a bicommunal society. 5 ~8 T( @2 H/ V8 @4 T# q7 b; {* x
This term refers to a society where over 80 percent of the population belongs to one of two well-defined identity groups. Also, the two groups in Rwanda/卢旺达 are not in balance.6 @& d/ j+ i. d# x2 |6 x$ I8 {
Bicommunal societies are marked by social differentiation and segregation, which often results in political separation or conflict. — John James Quinn et al., Ethnic Conflict and International Politics, 2004>
# w. c# q1 u8 N5 W" B7 H' e3 g5 t) u这个应该是个新收录的词，Oxford, OED, AmericanHeritageDict, Webster's New World, Vocabulary.com, Merriam-Webster Collegiate都没有收录。2 a5 N4 K V8 } p ~, i7 o
& K# n9 ]: I$ |$ G在线的这个应该是 Merriam-Webster unabridged收录的。1 O/ q1 V) ^, x& ]9 r" }
1 S" |3 ], G; V1 F6 w9 Z0 T* n2 _+ C( I$ ^
另外，看了下关于 Merriam-Webster unabridged与Merriam-Webster collegiate的区别。
