现在我开始讲我的故事:+ \' O0 i' n9 ?/ p: S
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?"
2 `9 T, I& v* T4 E; z我当时把nations理解为民族(不怕您见笑),所以我答:"yes, even more.". P, ~/ i: t& i. h# M
紧接着这黑人说,"Do u know what nation mean? it means country."
/ B3 q I: K% P1 r; s' c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?”% Y9 X( A' y3 P
他看我怒了,不停滴sorry,sorry,然后滚蛋了。

' Z% J3 s, S- c7 WNation 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] |
