    下面这段话来自于喂鸡百科,划横线的这几个地方之前为什么没有加 "the" 呢?我觉得应该是要加个the的吧

    "Blue wall" is a term which is used by political pundits in order to refer to 18 U.S. states and the District of Columbia that the Democratic Party consistently won in presidential elections between 1992 and 2012. George W. Bush, the only Republican president elected during this time, was able to narrowly win the electoral college in 2000 and 2004 only by winning states outside of the blue wall.

    Well, what I am about to say I have no definite grammatical knowledge to back it up.
    Now, here is my two cents:

    "Blue wall" is a term which is used by political pundits in order to refer to 18 U.S. states and the District of Columbia that the Democratic Party consistently won in presidential elections between 1992 and 2012.

    principle of economy at work here——in the 2nd case, there is already anothe qualifier, namely between 1992 and 2012; in the first case, if there has to be a qualifier, those might be more appropriate, not the.

    "Blue wall" is a term which is used by political pundits in order to refer to 18 U.S. states and the District of Columbia 【that the Democratic Party consistently won in presidential elections [between 1992 and 2012]】.

    各有后置定语限定,不加the也是特指。

    你的理解正好和我相反。就是因为有定语了,所以才要特指。

    我觉得加“these”或“those”更顺一些。
