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?"

紧接着这黑人说,"Do u know what nation mean? it means country."2 C+ G! x& v4 P* u
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?”' i5 _3 i8 X1 R8 y# r6 x
他看我怒了,不停滴sorry,sorry,然后滚蛋了。, x6 f* s' R) v3 u& `
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。8 }* ~3 v8 w: ^% @8 s

& L( Z% x7 a$ k1 J) 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] |
