Post-war means after a war — the time, the people, the buildings, the feeling. A post-war town is one rebuilt when the fighting has stopped. The post-war years are the years that come next.

Post-war means意思是 after a war一場戰爭之後—— the time那段時間、 the people那些人、 the buildings那些建築、 the feeling那種感覺。 A post-war town戰後的城鎮 is one就是 when the fighting has stopped戰火停了之後 rebuilt重建起來的那一種。 The post-war years戰後的歲月 are就是 that come next接著來的 the years那些年。

Though actually, if an English speaker just says post-war and does not name a war, they nearly always mean after the Second World War. If they mean a different war, they usually say so: post-Civil War, post-Vietnam.

Though actually不過其實， if如果 an English speaker說英文的人 just says只說 post-war， and does not name a war沒有指明是哪一場戰爭， they他們 nearly always幾乎總是 mean指 after the Second World War第二次世界大戰之後。 If如果 they他們 mean a different war指的是別場戰爭， usually say so通常會說出來： post-Civil War、 post-Vietnam。

You will see it with a hyphen (post-war) or as one word (postwar); both are used. It is a calm, ordinary word in history and news, not slang and not very stiff either.

You will see it你會看到它 with a hyphen帶連字號 (post-war)， or as one word或寫成一個字 (postwar)； both兩種 are used都有人用。 in history and news在歷史和新聞裡 It它 is是 a calm平實、 ordinary word普通的字， not slang不是俚語， and not very stiff either也不會太生硬。

Do not mix this post- with the post that means mail. Here post- only means after.

Do not別把 this post-這個 post- with和 that means mail意思是「郵件」的 the post那個 post mix弄混。 Here在這裡 post- only means只表示 after之後。
