现在我开始讲我的故事:
" j1 j4 j0 ]6 @ f4 D: ^% n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?"
' i7 B; H1 ~" i; V% Z7 q我当时把nations理解为民族(不怕您见笑),所以我答:"yes, even more."
( m* n0 f( A: `9 T8 A5 g 紧接着这黑人说,"Do u know what nation mean? it means country."$ N1 o$ g& @9 A5 A! v/ w
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?”

5 S! u5 k1 b# p6 g9 `# 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] |
