1. 1統治權;統治地

    Dominion is power or control over a place or people, especially the kind of complete authority a ruler has. It can also mean the actual land or territory that someone rules over. It's a more formal, almost old-fashioned word — you'll see it in history books, religious texts, or serious writing more than in everyday speech.
