有一天,一个黑人问我,"where r u from?" 我答:"China"接着他问:"China has 50 nations, is that true?"3 Q! Z0 F8 g1 v' G! R' J. n
我当时把nations理解为民族(不怕您见笑),所以我答:"yes, even more."( t7 \1 l) W1 f1 i
紧接着这黑人说,"Do u know what nation mean? it means country."

7 v' _: s% F+ c3 s& JNation has different meanings in different contexts. In worldwide diplomacy, nation can mean country or sovereign state.[1] The United Nations, for instance, speaks of how it was founded after the Second World War with “51 countries” and currently has “192 member states”.[2] Nation may more broadly refer to a community of people who share a common territory and government—but who are not necessarily a sovereign state; and who often share a common language, race, descent, and/or history, such as the “Palestinian nation”.[1] The word nation can more specifically refer to a tribe of North American Indians, such as the Cherokee Nation.[1] |
