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?"+ T1 P0 n: o4 C7 O+ f% [
我当时把nations理解为民族(不怕您见笑),所以我答:"yes, even more." m7 Y1 z# o8 t/ H* x8 F6 l
紧接着这黑人说,"Do u know what nation mean? it means country."/ R/ Q" r0 m0 d+ `% p# \: B' P
这下子把我气着了,我立刻翻了脸,怒视着他问“what u mean?why u ask such question?”4 O# I$ o' e$ l' m2 U
他看我怒了,不停滴sorry,sorry,然后滚蛋了。' \/ J' _$ n6 R$ M- x
我也不知道我这样做是对还是错,只是觉得英语不好,很障碍。

* p: Q4 D2 l3 SNation 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] |
