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?”: \6 K3 {4 L/ `7 a/ q ]5 m1 o9 t$ d
他看我怒了,不停滴sorry,sorry,然后滚蛋了。

This guy just play with you in English word. If you don't like his game just tell him --go home check your F-English dictionary. Do you know who said --Quebec is a nation.

7 b% C5 P5 q) e" S% D z* W9 uNation 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] |
