adj.|external/diplomatic;外國的;外交的;異質的;不相關的
“foreign”是一個形容詞,主要表示“外國的”或“外來的”基本含義。其詞源可追溯至古法語單詞“forain”和中世紀拉丁語“forāneus”,意為“外部的”或“不屬于本地的”(來源:牛津英語詞典)。
在具體使用中,該詞可描述以下概念:
近義詞包括“overseas”(海外的)、“alien”(外來的),反義詞則為“domestic”(國内的)或“native”(本地的)。例句:“The company expanded its business to foreign markets”(該公司将業務拓展至國外市場)。
Foreign 是一個形容詞,核心含義為“外國的” 或“外來的”,但具體含義需結合語境判斷:
例句:She studiesforeign languages.(她學習外語)
例句:Theforeign minister attended the summit.(外交部長出席了峰會)
例句:The patient’s body rejected theforeign object.(患者的身體排斥了異物)
例句:The customs here areforeign to me.(這裡的風俗讓我感到陌生)
在考試中需注意其“陌生的” 這一生義,常用于抽象語境:
例句:The idea isforeign to his way of thinking.(這種想法與他的思維方式格格不入)
Theforeign ambassador delivered a speech.(外國大使發表了演講)
The concept of time travel isforeign to physics.(時間旅行的概念在物理學中并不存在)
His behavior seemedforeign to his usual calm self.(他的行為一反平日的冷靜)
Foreign 的核心含義是“外國的”,但可延伸至“外交的”“異質的” 和“陌生的”,需結合語境判斷。其詞源和搭配體現了從具體到抽象的語義擴展,尤其在考試中需注意“陌生” 這一生義。
