abroad的短语：

Ex.:How are the oversea markets performing?（海外的市场表现如何?）
这里的oversea作形容词用,放在名词markets（市场）前面,形容markets是“海外的”.再来看使用overseas的例子：
Ex:We employ many teachers that have been trained overseas.（我们聘用不少曾在海外受训的教师.）
这里的副词overseas放在动词词组have been trained（曾受训）后面,表示“曾受训”这个事情是“在海外”发生的.
可是,今天已不大需要讲究上述oversea和overseas的文法差别.现在,有-s尾的overseas除了一如以往可作副词用外,还可以作形容词用,即是取代了无-s尾的形容词oversea.所以,大家如觉得要死记文法差异很麻烦,光是使用overseas就够了.
What is the difference between
they both mean the samein that they abstractly refer to somewhere abroad (regardless of how many seas you have to cross to get there)
it's a fuzzy line between when to use oversea or overseas... you'd usually just pick one that sounds bestthough overseas is used most often.
some example setences:
I'm going overseas.
they're travelling oversea(s)
I work in oversea relations
my parcel is being sent by oversea shipping
the boat is sailing overseas
the main thing I would say is overseas is used when you/someone/something is travellingwhereas oversea is used for everything else
其实都一样，不过常用的是overseas，因为读起来好听点，，，oversea会被用来做形容词多一点
" Actuallythis is interesting: checking the OEDit seems that until the 50’s or sooversea was indeed commonly used in the UK where [American English] or modern [British English] would use overseas. "
