: \9 \ l* G3 V, c# S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?"" r q* F4 b1 K; R
我当时把nations理解为民族(不怕您见笑),所以我答:"yes, even more."7 u9 H2 |3 l1 ^5 g9 Z/ Y( y
紧接着这黑人说,"Do u know what nation mean? it means country."$ H# y. I h+ x3 H2 m; H' Q

他看我怒了,不停滴sorry,sorry,然后滚蛋了。5 ^9 Y4 I3 R: Z$ }# m: s

3 l( F, R) J/ y$ 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] |
