解釋：當(dāng)13個(gè)美洲殖民地（或由英國統(tǒng)治但距離很遠(yuǎn)的地區(qū)）從英國那獲得獨(dú)立（或自由）時(shí)，它們沒有一個(gè)強(qiáng)大的政府。
They agreed to follow a document called the Articles of Confederation, but it wasn't strong enough for the new country.

其中的一個(gè)主要分歧是美國人應(yīng)該如何在立法機(jī)構(gòu)（政府的立法部門）中得到體現(xiàn)。

大州的人希望代表權(quán)以人口數(shù)量為基礎(chǔ)，而小州的人則希望每個(gè)州都擁有平等的代表權(quán)。
A man from Connecticut, Roger Sherman, finally solved (or found an answer to) the problem when he created the Connecticut Compromise, which was a solution that gave everybody some, but not all, of what they wanted.
當(dāng)來自康涅狄格州的羅杰·謝爾曼創(chuàng)造了“康涅狄格妥協(xié)案”時(shí)，他最終解決了（或找到了答案）這個(gè)問題，該解決方案給了每個(gè)人一些他們想要的東西，但不是全部。
