使用多种语言的

本城新鲜事还真不少。最近，深圳华侨城肉菜市场的小贩们学会了说外语来招揽生意。请看本报昨日的报道《市场小贩能说多种语言》：

Market vendors become multilingual

Vendors at a wet market in Overseas Chinese Town (OCT) have learned to speak foreign languages after the market was listed as a scenic spot on a one-day tour of Shenzhen and more foreign visitors stop by.

Business is brisk at the market, although a Wal-Mart store is located nearby. Legions of shoppers come and go, making the market a lively place where buyers bargain with sellers, hoping to get away with the lowest prices and the best fruit and vegetables.

报道的标题中"multilingual" 就是“使用多种语言的"，而我们常说的"bilingual"就是“双语的”。例如：

Singapore is a multilingual nation, with many of its citizens being able to speak English Malay and Chinese.

新加坡是多语种国家，很多居民会说英语、马来语和中文。
