短释义：
The word imperial has a lofty feel, and though it’s often used of royalty, it is sometimes used to refer to anything extremely large or impressive. It was once the name of a large suitcase that was too big to fit inside a coach and so was tied on top. Think of something imperial as being something so upper-class that it’s almost to the point of royalty — and sometimes almost to the point of being a joke.
Imperial带有皇室的含义，通常与帝国有关；皇帝或皇后被称为“殿下”。

帝国这个词有一种崇高的感觉，虽然它经常用于皇室，但有时也用来指任何极其巨大或令人印象深刻的事物。它曾经是一个大手提箱的名字，它太大了，无法装进马车，所以被绑在上面。把帝国的东西想象成上流社会的东西，几乎达到了皇室的程度——有时几乎达到了一个笑话的程度。
