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?"

; A. B! S! e/ J& M3 N: _& [% j6 J! B 紧接着这黑人说,"Do u know what nation mean? it means country."
6 n" o* G' N0 U9 z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?”
9 q9 z v3 K) X6 m8 ?9 B他看我怒了,不停滴sorry,sorry,然后滚蛋了。/ [6 N7 D' g- o' r% ^+ ]' s1 J

: L2 Y+ U; L+ ^+ ?( W% Q8 D WNation 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] |
