我当时把nations理解为民族(不怕您见笑),所以我答:"yes, even more." ?4 q2 I- p) y, c+ {' t+ _
紧接着这黑人说,"Do u know what nation mean? it means country."8 G+ K! a- H8 J9 N5 e
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?”1 e% Y$ g, H- \3 A: \
他看我怒了,不停滴sorry,sorry,然后滚蛋了。

7 B [% h) l6 g qNation 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] |
