Although I still get quite irritable when Africa is referred to as a country, the most recent example being my otherwise wonderful flight from Lagos two days ago, in which there was an announcement on the Virgin flight about the charity work in "India, Africa and other countries."
不过当人们把非洲当作一个国家来讨论的时候， 我还是觉得挺反感的。 最近的一次例子就发生在两天前， 我从拉各斯搭乘航班。旅程原本相当愉快， 直到广播里开始介绍在“印度、非洲以及其他国家” 所进行的慈善事业。
