紧接着这黑人说,"Do u know what nation mean? it means country."& H9 G/ t8 ]) p( k
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?”

& J, U/ J! `$ Y% V. i% [5 HNation 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] |
