   OK,来讲今天的词 nation


  许多人第一次在课本上见到这个词的时候,学到的释义应该是“国家”。其实这样既对也不对。
  nation 的本意其实是“民族”,所以 What's your nationality? 的本意其实是“你是什么民族?”
  如果你想问别人的“国籍”,而且不想引起歧义,最好的选择是:
  Which country's citizenship 1 do you own?
  你拥有哪个国家的公民身份?
  如果用 nation 来描述国家只能特指“民族国家”,说的是建立在民族认同上的国家。
  而最广义的“国家”其实应该翻译成 state
  那么,我们再来引用一个句子吧~
  Discontent is the first step in the progress of a man or a nation. -- Oscar Wilde
  对于一个人或一个民族来说,不满是进步的第一步。—— 奥斯卡·王尔德

n.市民权,公民权,国民的义务(身份)
  • He was born in Sweden,but he doesn't have Swedish citizenship.他在瑞典出生,但没有瑞典公民身分。
  • Ten years later,she chose to take Australian citizenship.十年后,她选择了澳大利亚国籍。
