foreign的详细讲解:
词语用法
- foreign的基本意思是“外国的,在本国以外的; 从外国来的”。
- foreign也可作“不属于本身的; 无关的,不相干的”解,常接介词to表示“和…格格不入”“和…不相干”。引申可作“异质的”解。
- foreign常用作定语,也可用作表语。
- foreign无比较级和最高级。

- foreign, alien
-

常见错误
-
她说话时脸红了,因为说谎不是她的本性。
误 She blushed as she spoke, for lying is foreign with her nature.
正 She blushed as she spoke, for lying is foreign to her nature.
析 foreign 用来表达“和…格格不入”“和…不相干”时,后面应该加介词to,而不加 with或别的介词。
三对外国夫妇住在三楼。误 Three couples of foreigners live on the third floor.
正 Three foreign couples live on the third floor.
析 “三对外国夫妇”译成three couples of foreigners不符合英语习惯说法,应该改为 three foreign couples。“一对美国夫妇”是an American couple,若写成a couple of Americans就可能是两个美国人了。
他已定购了一辆外国造的汽车。误 He has placed an order for a foreigner's car.
正 He has placed an order for a foreign-made car.
析 “外国制造的”应译作foreign-made,而foreigner's是“外国人的”意思。
