  • 词义辨析
  • forward, ahead, before
  • 这组词的共同含义是指“在某时间或地点以前”,它们的区别是:
    1.before主要用于时间而少用于地点;而ahead和forward则主要用于地点而少用于时间。
    2.用于地点时,ahead指自身以外的前方,而forward则指自身的前部。试比较:
    The commander sent a group of scouts ahead.
    指挥员派一支侦察队到前面去。
    The commander sent a company forward.
    指挥员调一连人到前面来。
    前句表示小分队离开大部到前面去, 后句则表示把一人调至队首或较前面的位置。
    在航海上, ahead指方向或位置在船外或船的前部; 而forward则指中部靠前的位置。
    用于引申意, 也有同样的区别, 如look ahead可指预见长远后果而不计较当前得失, 而look forward则指预料到某事可能或一定能发生。
    3.用于指可顺、逆变化的机械运动时,ahead和forward则无明显差别,例如按顺时针拨动表针,可说set the clock forward,也可说set the clock ahead。
  • 下面三句意思相同:
  • He is forward in helping others.
    He is forward to help others.
    He is forward with helping others.
    他乐于帮助别人。
  • forward, remit, send
  • 这组词都有“发送”“邮寄”的意思。它们的区别是:
    1.宾语为信或电报时,可用send和remit,但后者还有“转送”“转交”的意思; 宾语为汇款时可用send和forward; 宾语为货物时可用forward和remit。例如:
    Applications should be forwarded through the Authority.申请书应通过工程处转交。
    He remits home every month.他每月汇款回家。
    2.send还有“打发(人)”的意思,而另两个词则无此义。例如:
    I had no time to waste talking to him so I sent him packing.我没有时间和他说废话,所以就把他打发走了。
  • send,deliver,dispatch,forward,ship,transmit
