4 ~2 l) Y9 O2 ]6 l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?"
9 v W5 S; Y# u. n( t+ Z. V# R我当时把nations理解为民族(不怕您见笑),所以我答:"yes, even more."7 p% t1 F6 q$ G# F
紧接着这黑人说,"Do u know what nation mean? it means country."2 I. O' Z; R! O8 l: j# U, i
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?”

Nation 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] |
