我当时把nations理解为民族(不怕您见笑),所以我答:"yes, even more."
7 o9 d6 Q2 M3 u 紧接着这黑人说,"Do u know what nation mean? it means country."
# R3 h( v0 z: I: U7 d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?”# K1 K4 l8 r7 T1 a9 f: J4 @

, T( {5 d5 k7 d3 o7 E% {& ?% zNation 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] |
