I don't know what exactly is confusing you here. Go through the article again. It is quite clear in mentioning that this system of segregating countries as first world, second world and third world countries is a relic of the cold war era and that a third world country is one that neither supported Russia nor US during the Cold war. It so happened that most of the countries that fell in the category of third world countries were poor and the term “third world” started becoming a derogatory word. So no matter how advanced we become in terms of technology and development, even if India becomes the richest country on this planet, by the original definition, we would still be a third world country. Same goes for countries like Australia and Canada. No matter how poor they get, they will always still be first world countries by the original definition

我不知道你在这里具体困惑了什么。再次阅读一下文章,它很清楚地提到,将国家分为第一世界、第二世界和第三世界是冷战时期的遗物,第三世界国家指的是在冷战期间既不支持俄罗斯也不支持美国的国家。恰好大多数被归类为第三世界国家的国家都很贫穷,因此“第三世界”一词开始变成了一种贬义词。所以,无论我们在技术和发展方面有多先进,即使印度成为地球上最富裕的国家,按照原始定义,我们仍然是一个第三世界国家。对于澳大利亚和加拿大等国家也是如此。无论他们变得多么贫穷,按照原始定义,他们仍将是第一世界国家。
