official diplomatic mission abroad
The official group of people and offices that represent one country inside another country.
Mẫu sử dụng:
[country]'s embassy in [city/country]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners often confuse "embassy" with "consulate" and "ambassador." An embassy is the main diplomatic mission in a foreign capital and is led by an ambassador. A consulate is a smaller office, usually in other cities, that mainly helps its citizens (for example with passports and visas). "Ambassador" is the person; "embassy" is the mission or office.
Từ đồng nghĩa
