现在我开始讲我的故事:

紧接着这黑人说,"Do u know what nation mean? it means country."+ L# F) w4 h E% p. o
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?”

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。9 P$ I4 p# |8 R9 j" e. r

* T. c2 `$ T* n9 t0 E h) |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] |
