虽然波士顿马拉松爆炸案疑犯，Tamerlan与Dzhokhar两兄弟是来自车臣，但美国社交网站上不少人把车臣(Chechnya)与捷克(Czech Republic)搞错，迫得捷克驻美大使Petr Gandalovic也要跑出来澄清。
他在使馆网站发出声明，指捷克与车臣完全不同，捷克一个中欧国家，车臣则是俄罗斯联邦的一部份，又谓捷克是美国对付恐怖主义的可靠夥伴。

Surprised CNN didn' run with this. But I often gets things like this confused, espacially in the Czech out line at the grocery store or when I'm going to Chechnya out a new movie. CNN居然没有跟踪报道这件事，这种事我也总搞混，特别是我在捷克的杂货店外打算去看车臣的一部新电影。

06:13 AM on 04/23/2013 Because we spend so little money of public education. We let politicians control what is taught and in what way, and because we let places like Texas dictate what the education books say. doc 因为我们在公众教育上面花的钱太少了。我们让政客们控制教什么、怎么教，像德克萨斯州这样的地方课本说什么就是什么。 Permalink | Share it HUFFPOST SUPER USER Majorbob53 390 Fans 07:16 AM on 04/23/2013 I agree with you 100%. I also think that many American's hold that "we" are predominant in all aspects of social, political, economic, educational and theological "truths." All other countries are 2nd rate and therefore there is no need to understand them, or even know where they are located. I saw this 1st hand when I was stationed in several countries. A minority of Americans arrived at the base, and for the duration of their tour, did not venture out into the host country - "the people hate us, the food stinks, there is nothing to see" BTW that was a comment I heard from an American about Germany, circa 1987. 我百分之百同意你。我也觉得许多美国人自认为“我们在社会、政治、经济、教育逻辑等所有方面”都高出别人，是完全的真理。其他所有国家都是二等的，也没必要去了解他们，更别提知道他们在哪里了。我去很多国家时候都遇到这种情况。 Permalink | Share it There are More Comments on this Thread.

Woe unto those proposing cuts in Education, which may yet save our lives" 这也是历史、地理和公民教育应被列入高中教育的一个原因。 Permalink | Share it file:///C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\ksohtml\wps_clip_image-19136.png randyman99 My micro-bio is almost full. 686 Fans 07:44 PM on 04/22/2013 Knowledge of world geography is a good thing. 了解世界地理还是有益的。 Permalink | Share it HUFFPOST SUPER USER Mkelly534 Save the Hype. Give me the facts. 345 Fans 03:06 PM on 04/22/2013 I have been to the Chec Republic several times and they are pretty friendly and pro American (or at least not anti-American) BTW it is a beautiful country. 我去过几次捷克，他们人都很好，也很支持美国（至少不反美）。当然也是个美丽的国家。
Prague is one of my favorite cities in the world. Lovely people, gorgeous architecture. 布拉格是我最喜欢的城市之一。人们都很好，建筑很美。
Somebody better tell Sarah Palin that. She just said we should invade the Czech Republic. 谁最好告诉萨拉·佩林，她刚说我们应该入侵捷克。 Permalink | Share it thatisright1 50 Fans 01:00 PM on 04/22/2013 You are mentally challenged if you don't think these bombings have anything to do with Islam 如果你觉得这次爆炸案跟伊斯兰没有关系的话，你脑子有问题。
BIG difference between Islam and radical Islam. Just as there's a big difference between Christianity and evangelical Christianity. 伊斯兰和激进伊斯兰有很大区别。
To confuse Chechnya with Czechoslovkia is like confusing Austria with austrailia!! 把车臣和捷克搞混了就像是分不清奥地利和澳大利亚！ Permalink | Share it Tony Correa 16 Fans 12:41 PM on 04/22/2013 Geroge W confused Austria & Australia.. On a visit to Australia, he thanked the "Austrians" for hospitality... 布什就搞混过奥地利和澳大利亚。又一次他去澳大利亚，张口就说感谢“奥利地人民”的热情。
Americans' ignorance of world geography is staggering! Is this an example of American "exceptionalism?" 美国人地理知识匮乏让人吃惊！这是不是也是美国人“例外主义”的一个例子？ Joe wrote: wow, in the year 2013, the most “advanced” country on the planet earth, still does not know the basic geography of at least Europe!!
