2 Chinese Canadian identity
In Canada there are several terms for "Chinese Canadian". Two terms in particular (one of which is not mentioned in the current article) are:
1. 加藉華人 (lit. "Chinese person with Canadian citizenship", corresponding to the English term "Canadian Chinese")—an older term which stresses the Chinese identity; Canadian citizenship being secondary
2. 華裔加人 (lit. "Canadian person of Chinese ancestry", corresponding to the English term "Chinese Canadian")—a newer term which stresses the Canadian identity; Chinese ancestry being secondary (This term is listed in the current version of the article)
The term "加拿大華人" looks like a straight translation from English. It's in current use, too, but I'm not sure about if there are any similar nuances in meaning. (Just by looking at the form of this compound, it probably just means "Chinese person in Canada", but the WP editors certainly would like to want citations for this to death.)
加拿大有“中国加拿大的几个条件”。特别是两个词(其中一个不在当前的文章中提到的)是:
1. 加藉華人(点燃。”中国人与加拿大公民”,对应的英文词“加拿大华人”)-旧的术语,强调中国身份;加拿大国籍是次要的
2. 華裔加人(点燃。”加拿大华人血统的人”,对应的英文词“华人”)-新学期强调加拿大身份;中等的中国血统(这个词是在文章的当前版本上市)
“加拿大華人”看起来像是从英文直接翻译。这是目前使用的,太,但我不确定是否有任何类似的细微差别的意义。(只看该化合物的形式可能只是意味着“加拿大”,中国人但是WP编辑当然要想引用这个死。)

The Canadian mosaic is referred to Canada's cultural diversity. 加拿大马赛克被称为加拿大的文化多样性
Canada is a nation of immigrants, is usually described as a "mosaic”. When the British allowed the defeated French the right to retain their language, religion and customs in Canada, the stage was set for a different kind of country to emerge in which no particular concept of an overarching Canadian identity would be promoted加拿大是一个移民国家,是通常被描述为一个“马赛克”。当英国允许击败法国有权保留他们的语言,宗教和习俗在加拿大,舞台被设定为一个不同的国家中,没有特别的加拿大身份的概念将被提升
7 Sports as a national obsession
Can be seen from the strength of the sports, whether a country is strong
A country is not strong, one of the important key is to see the country's strong sports is not strong.We will from the Olympic Games, as well as the major international sports events, you can tell more gold MEDALS, are the powerful country in the world.
If a country's sports is strong, a lot of the time don't need to force can subdue the other countries in the world, and with the international high visibility and easy to be respected by others.A country have high popularity in the world, they also are more likely to become the international capital into and participate in the investment project, at this time of the people of this country can suffer the benefits;That is to say if people's physical strength, can have a good physical performance, finally under the layers of a chain reaction, or the people's own benefit.
从体育的强弱,可以看出一个国家是否强盛。一个国家强不强盛,其中有一个很重要的关键就是看这个国家的体育强不强盛。我们从奥林匹克世运会,以及各主要国际运动赛事中,可以看出得较多金牌的国家,都是属于世界上强盛的国家。一个国家的体育如果是强大的,很多时候是不需要武力就可以震慑住世界上其他的国家,并且有著国际的高知名度以及容易被别国所尊敬。一个在国际上有高知名度的国家,他们也比较容易获得国际的资金进驻及参与投资项目,这时候这个国家的人民就可以在当中蒙受其利;也就是说人民如果体格强健,能有好的体育表现,最后在层层连锁反应下,受惠的还是人民自己。
