許多表示國籍的形容詞以-an或-ian結(jié)尾的表示國家的形容詞：如Chinese,Japanese等，也可以用作可數(shù)名詞指人，但它們的單數(shù)和復(fù)數(shù)形式?jīng)]有變化:如：ThereisaJapanesenextthedoor.TheChineseareimpressive.Goodtoknow[m?'r?k?n]BraziliansMoroccansCanadians[br?'z?l??nz][k?'ne?di?n]有亮點英語Goodtoknow馬拉松賽是一項長跑比賽項目，其距離為42.195公里（也有說法為42.193公里）。這個比賽項目的距離的確定要從公元前490年9月12日發(fā)生的一場戰(zhàn)役講起。

這場戰(zhàn)役是波斯人和雅典人在離雅典不遠(yuǎn)的馬拉松海邊發(fā)生的，史稱希波戰(zhàn)爭，雅典人最終獲得了反侵略的勝利。為了讓故鄉(xiāng)人民盡快知道勝利的喜訊，統(tǒng)帥米勒狄派一個叫菲迪皮茨的士兵回去報信。菲迪皮茨是個有名的“飛毛腿”，為了讓故鄉(xiāng)人早知道好消息，他一個勁地快跑，當(dāng)他跑到雅典時，已喘不過氣來，只說了一句“我們勝利了！”就倒在地上死了。為了紀(jì)念這一事件，在1896年舉行的現(xiàn)代第一屆奧林匹克運(yùn)動會上，設(shè)立了馬拉松賽跑這個項目，把當(dāng)年菲迪皮茨送信跑的里程——42.193公里作為賽跑的距離。
