A disunited nation therefore has to incur unduly high costs of government.

因此，一个处于分裂国家必须要支付过高行政管理费用。

If a nation is essentialy disunited, it is left to the government to hold it together.

如果一个国家实际上处于分裂状态，使之联合起来就是政府事了。

The greatest danger in those cold-war years was to show the Soviet enemy a soft, disunited front.

冷战岁月中危险，是向劲敌苏联暴露出软弱分裂一面。

But if a nation is disunited, the government cannot be sure that the actions of the people will be in the interests of the nation; and it will have to watch, check, and control the people accordingly.

但是，如果一个国家处于分裂状态，政府不能相信人民行动有利于国家，那么政府就不得不对人民进行监督、检查和控制。
