我要求国会宣布:由于日本在1941年12月7日星期日对我国无故进行卑鄙的袭击,美国同日本已经处于战争状态。 I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday December7,1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire.
这个国家进入战争状态。 The country entered into a state of war.
由於大使遇刺,该国顿时进入了战争状态。 The assassination of the ambassador precipitated the country into war.
这两国间实际上处于战争状态。 A virtual state of war exists between the two countries.
