sorry 美壇奇葩, having an opposite interpretation

我的理解是，country此處是指鄉村，而非國家；如果要指國家，會用下麵的句子：
He had often dreamed of retiring in England and had planned to settle down there.
或者：
He had often dreamed of retiring in England and had planned to settle down in that country.

字典解釋：
country - rural districts, including farmland, parkland, and other sparsely populated areas, as opposed to cities or towns: Many city dwellers like to spend their vacations in the country.
