they will usually negotiate in thier own language.
55A.at home B.in school C.abroad D.overseas
这是道完形填空题,答案给的D, C.abroad 也有国外的意思,为什么不选,他们有什么区别,oversea形容词词性的词不对啊,overseas 在题目里修饰的 是speak吧,应该用副词修饰speak 啊

解答:

似乎‘海外’英文说overseas或abroad都可以,但这两个字用法有分别:overseas可以作形容词 (adjective) 和副词 (adverb),abroad则只可作副词。‘海外办事处’只能够译做an overseas office,不得说an abroad office;‘在海外工作’则译做to work overseas或to work abroad都可以。我才疏学浅,只知道这么多。此外,好像网上谈过这个问题。
