现在我开始讲我的故事:
}0 d9 |) W$ ?8 [ U o9 f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?"5 f5 l* N; O/ |; [' y: |4 b
我当时把nations理解为民族(不怕您见笑),所以我答:"yes, even more."
7 d" i! w" d! v! t 紧接着这黑人说,"Do u know what nation mean? it means country."* X; F% A2 X& `) l& F0 {! d
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?”

, t) l: x! Z( @0 V N# f& NNation 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] |
