💡专业提示

区分 'abroad' 与 'overseas'

'abroad' 侧重于 '在国外' 的状态,而 'overseas' 更强调 '跨越海洋' 的地理概念。例如:'He worked overseas for five years.'(他海外工作了五年。)

⚡黄金法则

abroad 的位置

作为副词时,'abroad' 通常放在动词之后,如 'go abroad'、'live abroad'。若强调方向,可置于句末,如 'He went abroad.'

📖词源

中古英语 'abroad' 源自古英语 'on breod'(在宽广之地),由 'a-'(在)+ 'broad'(宽广的)组成。原指在开阔地或远方,后演变为指国外或外地。

📝用法说明

1. 'abroad' 作副词时通常置于动词之后,如 'live abroad'(侨居国外)。2. 与介词连用时常用 'from abroad'(来自国外)或 'to abroad'(较少见,通常用 'go abroad')。3. 在正式文本中也可作形容词,如 'an abroad student'(留学生)。
