     From: 1942, 朱自清 (Zhu Ziqing), 經典常談

     Wǒguó jīngdiǎn, wèijīng zhěnglǐ, dú qǐlái tèbié nán, yībānrén wǎngwǎng wàng'érshēngwèi, jiéguǒ shì jìng'éryuǎnzhī. [Pinyin]

     Chinese classics are difficult to read uncollated. Ordinary people are often terrified by the sight of them, and prefer to remain at a respectful distance.

• Although literally "my/our country", 我國／我国 (wǒguó) should be used with care when the speaker and the audience do not necessarily share a national identity, or the speaker is not from a Chinese-speaking country, to avoid confusion. Usually translated as "China".

• 他國／他国 (tāguó)
