现在我开始讲我的故事:
& z7 [9 R: f+ q: h7 y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?"
3 `+ d* p2 C" }' L2 N! `* r& I我当时把nations理解为民族(不怕您见笑),所以我答:"yes, even more."1 l( b6 o' Q* ?6 ^
紧接着这黑人说,"Do u know what nation mean? it means country."( ?% M a; e, A6 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?”1 t0 f4 n. o$ a) X/ m
他看我怒了,不停滴sorry,sorry,然后滚蛋了。

( g( w+ g. k# y3 |% mNation 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] |
