First number is the number of turns you have and can use right away. Once that number is up to its maximum (maximum depends on the server) your stored turns (the bracket ones) will increase.
Stored turns also have a maximum (again depends on the server) and cannot be used right away but are not wasted. The way they work is, when you use some of your turns and you are supposed to gain a new turn, you'll get that new one and a stored turn will 'transfer' from the bracket to the 'ready to use' turns.
For example, alliance server has a maximum of 120(120). If you spend 40 turns you'll have 80(120). Once it's time to gain a new turn you'll have 82(119). One fresh new one and one moved from stored to turns on hand.
Once you reach maximum in both you will waste turns, so if you have (in alliance) 120(120) and a new turn comes up it will be wasted and you'll still have 120(120).
Hope I explained it well, feel free to ask more if it's not clear.
