现在我开始讲我的故事:

我当时把nations理解为民族(不怕您见笑),所以我答:"yes, even more."9 ^4 R% ~9 ]4 c0 A- V) B6 O
紧接着这黑人说,"Do u know what nation mean? it means country."
8 k4 e% {1 G$ d- M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?”

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。

; x& k; x$ a: ^1 ?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] |
