现在我开始讲我的故事:
& i: N, b$ N/ O) W9 e 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?"
8 @6 q! `9 \# H我当时把nations理解为民族(不怕您见笑),所以我答:"yes, even more."6 b$ p4 D7 H3 Q! J h& z5 H
紧接着这黑人说,"Do u know what nation mean? it means country."0 F. o$ ^8 t9 [; F6 R' q
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 B* ~8 G J5 A; K- Q他看我怒了,不停滴sorry,sorry,然后滚蛋了。& C2 N$ @, h& U/ x# g" w8 a
我也不知道我这样做是对还是错,只是觉得英语不好,很障碍。

( w5 x( y9 e, J5 ?5 FNation 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] |
