求助：immigrant與 emigrant的區別

查了幾個字典，均語焉不詳。請教大家。在線等

from merriam-webster online dictionary

Main Entry: immigrant
: one that immigrates : as a : a person who comes to a country to take up permanent residence b : a plant or animal that becomes established in an area where it was previously unknown.

Main Entry: emigrant
1 : one who emigrates (to leave one's place of residence or country to live elsewhere)
2 : a migrant plant or animal.


in addition, i think that immigrant usually is referred to 移民 while eimgrant can be referred to 農民工.

i see. who leaves is an emigrant and who comes is an immigrant. so an emigrant is expected to be received as an immigrant where he intends to settle.

btw, i have "soft-deleted" the previous two postings of yours.[/COLOR]
