Wait a minute, why are we having an official visit from this tinpot little African country?

为什么我们要接受这个非洲弹丸小国的来访？

Minister, I beg of you not to refer to it as a tinpot little African country.

大臣阁下我请求您别管它叫做非洲弹丸小国。

At the other end of the spectrum are innumerable tinpot workshops, employing handfuls of people and outdated methods.

在另一个极端，无数简陋的小作坊里工人寥寥无几，工艺落后过时。
