    Travellers in Spain who need help should contact the British Embassy in Madrid.

    逐字在西班牙的旅行者如果需要幫助應該聯絡在馬德里的英國大使館。

    「embassy」是一個國家派到外國、代表自己國家辦事的一群人，也常指他們辦公的那棟樓。常見：the British Embassy、the American Embassy in Paris。旅行丟護照或辦簽證，常會 contact the embassy。跟 ambassador 容易搞混——ambassador 是「大使」那個人；embassy 是整組人員或那棟樓。跟 consulate（領事館）比：embassy 多半在首都；consulate 常在其他城市，多幫忙護照、簽證。
