It was admitted as the 21st state in 1818. The area was explored by the French in the late 1600's, ceded by France to the British in 1763, and ceded by them to the newly formed United States in 1783. Springfield is the capital and Chicago the largest city. Population, 11,466,682.伊利诺斯州：美国中北部的一个州。1818年作为第二十一个州加入美国。法国人在17世纪后期首先开发了此地，1763年法国又将其割让给英国，1783年英法两国共同将其割让给新建立的美利坚合众国。斯普林菲尔德是该州首府，芝加哥为最大城市。人口11,466,682〔Artevelde〕Flemish political leader who maintained the neutrality of Flanders during hostilities between England and France and encouraged Edward III to claim the French throne.阿特威尔德，雅格布·冯：(1290?-1345) 佛兰德政治领导人，在英法战争期间坚持佛兰德人的中立，鼓励爱德华三世占有法国王位〔between〕According to a widely repeated but unjustified tradition,“between is used for two, and among for more than two.” It is true thatbetween is the only choice when exactly two entities are specified: the choice between (not among ) good and evil, the rivalry between (not among ) Great Britain and France. When more than two entities are involved, however, or when the number of entities is unspecified,the choice of one or the other word depends on the intended sense.Between is used when the entities are considered as distinct individuals; among, when they are considered as a mass or collectivity. Thus in the sentenceThe bomb landed between the houses, the houses are seen as points that define the boundaries of the area of impact (so that we presume that none of the individual houses was hit). InThe bomb landed among the houses, the area of impact is considered to be the general location of the houses, taken together (in which case it is left open whether any houses were hit). By the same token, we may speak ofa series of wars between the Greek cities, which suggests that each city was an independent belligerent, or ofa series of wars among the Greek cities, which allows as well the possibility that the belligerents were shifting alliances of cities. For this reason,among is most appropriate to indicate inclusion in a group: 根据重复多次但没什么根据的传统看法，“between 用于两者之间，而 among 用于二者以上。” 当只提到两个实体时，between 确实是唯一的选择： the choice between （而不用 among ） good and evil（善与恶之间的选择），the rivalry between （不用 among ） Great Britain and France（英法间的对抗）。 当牵涉到两个以上实体时，如果实体的数目不确定，选择其中之一则取决于倾向性。当实体被看作不同的个体时用between ； 当其被看作整体或集合时用among 。 因此在句子The bomb landed between the houses 中，房屋被看作一个限定了中弹地区的界限（ 所以我们假设一所所单独的房子未被击中）。在The bomb landed among the houses 中，被中弹地区被看作是房屋的整体地区（ 在这种情形下房屋是否被击中并未说明）。同样的表示法，我们可以说a series of wars between the Greek cities， 表示每个城市是独立的参战者，我们也可以说a series of wars among the Greek cities， 表示存在某些城市做为联合参战者的可能性。 因此，among 最适合表示包括在一群成一组人之内： 〔Agenais〕A historical region of southwest France. Ruled by England at various times during the Hundred Years' War, it finally passed to France after 1444.阿让奈：法国西南部一个具历史意义的地区，英法“百年战争”期间曾多次被英国统治。1444年后终于归还法国〔Ushant〕An island of northwest France in the Atlantic Ocean off western Brittany.

Its beaches were the focal point of Allied landings on D-day (June 6, 1944) in World War II.诺曼底：英吉利海峡的历史地区，以前为法国西北一个省。古代高卢的一部分，这一地区相继被罗马人，弗兰克人和诺斯人征服，诺曼人征服(1066年）后和英法百年战争期间(1337-1453年）归属英格兰，于1450年归还法国。二战中联军登陆(1944年6月6日）地点即为诺曼底海滩〔Johnson〕British-born American pioneer and public official.
