Foreign is by far the most frequent of these words and has the widest range. When describing groups of people such as visitors, investors or buyers, overseas is often preferred, especially when the group includes people who are not foreign but are living in a foreign country. * foreign在這些詞中最常用，含義最寬泛。overseas常用以描述visitor、investor或buyer之類的群體，尤其是此類群體中包括一些外僑時◆In this constituency only 65 overseas voters registered in time to vote.在這個選區中，只有65名海外選民及時登記了投票。'Foreign voters' would be people living in your own country who are from a foreign country. Both overseas and external are used especially in the contexts of business and politics: they are factual, businesslike words and contain no suggestion of 'difference' or 'strangeness', which foreign sometimes does. Alien is a more literary word and often carries a stronger sense of difference or strangeness, often in a negative or disapproving way. It is also used to describe plants and animals from a foreign country. * foreign voter指住在本國的外籍選民。overseas和external尤用於商務和政治語境，均爲事實性、公務性的詞語，並不暗含“差異”或“奇怪”之義，而foreign有時則帶有這些含義。alien更具文學色彩，常含有較強的“差異”或“奇怪”之義，且常常是負面或貶義的。alien亦可修飾異域的動植物。
