使馆 shǐguǎn consulate
consulate; diplomatic mission
怎么记住“使馆”: 使 use + 馆 public building = consulate.
汉字
用法
- Short for 大使馆 (dàshǐguǎn) embassy - 使馆 alone is the common clipped form in speech and news, e.g. 中国使馆 the Chinese embassy.
- A consulate specifically is 领事馆 (lǐngshìguǎn); 使馆 covers the embassy, the country's main diplomatic mission.
- Bound in this sense - you won't see 使 used alone to mean "embassy".
例句
- 他有权出入美国大使馆。 Tā yǒuquán chūrù měiguódàshǐguǎn.He has access to the American Embassy.
- 我去英国大使馆办签证。 Wǒ qù Yīngguó dàshǐguǎn bàn qiānzhèng.I'm going to the British embassy to get a visa.
- 他是美国大使馆的外交官。 Tā shì měiguódàshǐguǎn de wàijiāoguān.He is a diplomat at the American Embassy.
