我想,在不同的情境中应该意义不一样吧,
(classical mythology) a minor nature goddess usually depicted as a beautiful maiden; "the ancient Greeks believed that nymphs inhabited forests and bodies of water"这句话中应该偏重于nature这个词,情调大自然出身.
If,in violation of the regulations governing control of guns,a unit or individual leases or loans guns and if the violation is of a minor nature and does not constitute a crime,这句中又偏重minor这个词,是情节轻微的意思
具体问题具体分析吧
