at war 的定义
- Engaged in armed conflict; also, in a state of disagreement. This term may be used literally, usually of nations or smaller groups engaged in armed hostilities, as well as hyperbolically, describing a mild disagreement as “war,” and figuratively, for an inner conflict. For example, The Greeks and Turks have been at war for many years; The two families were at war about the bill for the wedding reception; and, as Shakespeare put it in Measure for Measure: “I am at war 'twixt will and will not”. [Late 1300s]
