State of the Union Address 是指“国情咨文 ”State of the Union可理解为“国情”，但含义应与我们说的国情有别。指美国目前面临的形势和问题（反恐战争、就业、国内民意等等）Let's discuss the State of the Union. The union is the United States of America, and we need to know what state the nation is in. How are we doing as a country, both here at home and with countries abroad?
