现在我开始讲我的故事: _* _: B' H5 _3 B3 x4 o+ \
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?"+ f4 v) P h: U$ [& @, p" H
我当时把nations理解为民族(不怕您见笑),所以我答:"yes, even more.", C# i$ e4 T% g6 B% L
紧接着这黑人说,"Do u know what nation mean? it means country."3 U0 p# Q( I5 L ~" _7 W
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?”: d1 X; K2 ?. r
他看我怒了,不停滴sorry,sorry,然后滚蛋了。3 e2 I: k1 X) i9 o
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。

7 f; K a7 T9 J5 J* g" d. [/ [Nation 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] |
