So reductionism says everything only depends on the microstate.

所以认为一切只取决于微观态。

What are the microstates of this entropy?

这种熵的微观态什么？

Now, the macrostate, fundamentally, no longer needs the microstate for its own description, its own account of the laws.

现在，从根本上来说， 宏观态不再需要微观态来进行自身的描述、自身的规律解释。

And that is the fact that Ireland is the only country in the world right now outside of minor islands and microstates that has a smaller population today than it did 200 years ago back in the 19th century.

这个事实就，兰目前世界上除小岛屿和微型国家外唯一一个人口少于 200 年前 19 世纪人口的国家。
