英文有三個唔同嘅字去講國家
Country - 以地域分界
A nation with its own government, occupying a particular territory
Middle English: from Old French cuntree, from medieval Latin contrata (terra) '(land) lying opposite', from Latin contra 'against, opposite'.
Nation - 以人文分界, United Kingdom 入面有英格蘭、威爾斯、蘇格蘭、同北愛爾蘭三個唔同文化種族嘅 Nation 組成嘅國家
A large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular state or territory
Middle English: via Old French from Latin natio(n-), from nat- 'born', from the verb nasci.
State - 以權力分界, United States 就係以唔同地方政府組成嘅國家
A nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one government
c.1300, from special use of state (n.1); this sense grew out of the meaning "condition of a country" with regard to government, prosperity, etc. (late 13c.), from Latin phrases such as status rei publicæ "condition (or existence) of the republic."

去維園,唯一目的,影 time lapse, on the record. 19:20 無雨,拎腳架出發。 19:30 天后地鐵站,好多人,今日唔係星期日或者公眾假期,但都係為咗同一個目的地。四部扶手電梯,二上二落,點知地鐵職員竟然停咗一部上嘅?! 19:45 要高空拍攝,唯一地...

無水晶球,係咪預測唔到未來? 但以每小時 1.2% 嘅投票率計,總投票率會係 18%. 後果係今次嘅公投運動失敗,香港人放棄咗表達嘅權利,放棄可貴嘅民主。 今日終於俾我見到未來嘅香港,就係由國際大都會變成中國嘅一個城市。回歸廿一年,香港人由自力更生,變成乜都伸手問北京攞。CE...

一段明報副刊嘅標題 周日話題﹕打救唐氏綜合症 ,第一刻諗起嘅,係唐英年。响 Cognitive Science 入面,有專門研究記憶嘅課題,指每一段記憶都有 Keyword 做關聯,當有足夠嘅關聯嘅時候,記憶片段就會出現。 之所以由唐氏綜合症諗起唐司長,係因為網上明報幅刊一系...

唔經唔覺,出走咗一年,本來係時候 Review 一吓幾時結束。不過下個月月頭有一個幾好嘅機會,捕捉到嘅話,會係一個新嘅挑戰。暫時嘛,就繼續將結束日期設定為 Indefinitely. 由一開始居無定所,Reject 咗一份工,無咗一份好大機會嘅工,到搵到工後四圍旅行,生活開始...

Butterfly Effect 總恬嚟講就係因為一個輕微嘅變化,而引致一個重大嘅改變。今次個重點,唔係個效應本身,而係想講一講超時工作 (即係 OT) 點樣改變香港人生活模式。 物價篇: 有說,超級市場賣貴貨,甚麼平通街、保證至抵,都係扼人嘅。但係,工時長咗,放工時間夜咗...

話說 Audition 完結,一位小朋友走入嚟話要自我檢討的說,低估咗問題所在,只係好 Casual 咁注入少少正能量。直到之後見到一句 Status, 我似乎無意識咁置身於風眼嘅中心。之前一日,我講過,作為老師,佢嘅學生要有老師一樣嘅功力,先叫合格。但係,我無講到時間,所以令到...
