state, country, nation
countryとstateの違いについて訪ねられ、 "country" is used to talk about mainly its land or people, "state" is used in a formal way than "country" to talk about its structure as a legal system rather than land or people. と答えてしまったのですが、これで良かったのかどうか自信がありません。 countryとstateの違いって何でしょうか？ nationについても教えてくださると助かります。

まず 地理に重きをおいたニュアンスで 国 というときは country 国民に重きをおいたニュアンスで 国 というときは nation 政治に重きをおいたニュアンスで 国 というときは state こんな感じで理解しとけばいいんじゃないでしょうか

country:最も一般的な単語。 異なる政治的区分による地域の事、いわゆる国。 state：自らが社会組織をもち、政治的な統一や独立の観念が強い。 nation：主権や政府のある国。アメリカ合衆国やアフリカの国。

うわー、微妙な問題ですね。 えーと、分かりやすい所でnationとstateの違いから考えてみたいと思います。 現代的な国家の形態の一つとして"nation-state（国民国家）"がありますよね。nationとstateが一緒になった形態です。国民国家の定義は、同一の文化的、歴史的、言語的バックグラウンドを持つグループによって構成される政治的共同体になります。つまり、nationというのは文化的・人種的共同体という意味合いが強く、逆にstateは政治的な共同体ということになります。nationではあってもstateではない例（トルコのクルド人、アメリカのネイティブ・アメリカンなど）を考えるとより両者の違いが分かりやすいのではないでしょうか。 問題はcountryですが、私も不明瞭だったのでグーグルで定義を調べてみました。それによると、 nation or state The territory of a nation or state; land. The people of a nation or state; populace: The whole country will profit from the new economic reforms. と出てきます。 政治的共同体という意味ではstateと同じだけれど、あなたが"country"と"state"との違いを説明する際に使った「ある特定の国家に属する人々」「ある特定の国家が保持する領土」という意味も含んでおり、解釈次第ではnationに近い意味も持っているという感じのようですね。state、nationの定義から完全に離れてcountryを定義することは難しそうです。 参考になれば幸いです。

countryとstateはほとんど同じで、日本語の「国」に当たります。中央政治もあり、国境もあります。stateはただもっと改めた言い方だけです。 countryかstateと言えるときにnationも言えますが、nationはその他の二つと違って、中央政治も国境もない、民族は同じことだけでつながってる人々を示すこともあります。たとえば、昔のアメリカンインディアンの「イロコイ」は中央政治がありませんでしたが、「The Iroquois Nation」と言えます。

Through instant messaging and Internet chat forums, people have a chance to meet people. Blind dating is exciting for some people, but it can be a stressful emotional experience for others.

I think the Latinos stay longer for three reasons. First, they are used to eating their breakfast , lunch, and dinner later in the day than Americans eat theirs.Roughly speaking , they eat each meal one or two hours later than American people. Second they are used to taking more time at each meal, eating slowly and leisure ly. They would rather relax and talk to their friends during a meal than rush off to study or work.Maybe this is not true everywhere, but I think it is true here at Boston University.

現在独学で英語を学んでいます。そこで今回自分でアメリカと日本の文化の違いやどのようにして、文化の違いを克服するかをエッセーにしてみました。特にどこかに見せる訳ではないのですが、塾などに行くお金がないのでだれにも文法ミスなどチェックしてもらう人はいません。そこでよろしければ校訂していただけないでしょうか？？ The first thing that I learned from my experience in the United State is accepting different culture. There are a lot of different culture between in the United State and Japan. It is extremely important for me to overcome a cultural difference, but I need to take pride in Japanese culture too. For example, American is individualism, but Japanese is collectivism. American people do not hesitate eating out alone at restaurant; however, Japanese do because they do not want to eat under someone's lonely eyes. Surprisingly, some Japanese students eat a lunch inside of restroom stall because they want to make sure nobody finds out. They do not want to give a mistaken impression of not having any friends at school. However, American usually does not care about what other people think about you. Also, there are a lot of people who eat alone at dining room of Santa Rosa Junior College. Now I do not care about eating alone at all. The second different cultural experience is social system. It is very common in Japan that you supposed to pay respect and be polite to whoever is older than you. However, American is not strict to be polite. For instance, when I talk with my instructor, I always try to be formal. If I meet my instructor in outside of the class, I bow to the instructor first and talk him or her formally. However, in the United State, students call the instructors by their first name like a friend. One day, I was walking with my classmate on campus, and we met our instructor. I was going to bow to him, but the instructor waved his hand to us and my classmate also did it to the instructor. I was surprised at what my classmate did to him because it is a kind of rude to wave hand to our instructor in Japan. In my opinion, this American culture is a good because Japanese social system is sometimes extremely annoying. I always have to pay respect to whoever they are older than me. In japan, older people are absolute. You have to pay respect to older people even a year older than you. Therefore, you cannot against your supervisor. Even if your supervisor is less ability than you, you have to respect and talk formally to him or her. However, in the united state, you can be in a high position instead of older coworkers because people make a valuation according to your ability.

An expatriate (often shortened to expat) is a person temporarily or permanently residing in a country other than their native country. In common usage, the term often refers to professionals, skilled workers, or artists taking positions outside their home country, either independently or sent abroad by their employers, who can be companies, universities, governments, or non-governmental organisations. Effectively migrant workers, they usually earn more than they would at home, and more than local employees. However, the term 'expatriate' is also used for retirees and others who have chosen to live outside their native country. Historically, it has also referred to exiles. 本記事はこちらをご覧ください。 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expatriate

Every society makes laws to protect its way of life. By looking at a country's laws, we can learn something about the culture of that society. We can also understand what is important to its people. Sometimes these laws may surprise outsiders. In Switzerland,for example,you can't hang out laundry on Sundays. It is also against the law to use a power lawn mower on Sundays because it is too noisy. These laws tell us that Sunday are very important to the Swiss. これをお願いいたします。 あとit'sとitsの違いは何なのでしょうか。 よければお願いいたします。

Japan is, after all, a country used to low crime levels where many drivers still leave keys in their cars when they park. (何と言っても日本は低い犯罪水準に慣れている国であり,そこでは多くのドライバーが今でも駐車の際にキーを車につけたままにしている) この英文なんですが、used to は和訳から考えるとbe used to (慣れている)だと、分かるのですが、この文の最初のisはa countryに掛かっているので、be used to の形だとは言えないんじゃないかと思いましたが、これはどう説明がつきますか？ Be used to の形にするには ~ a country that is used to ~ のように関係詞を使わないとダメな気がします。 どなたか、解説をよろしくお願いします。
