词语用法

   I have a very busy day ahead of me.
   我接下去的这一天会很忙。

   我们必须要在一周前预先决定好。

adv. (副词)

1. ahead的基本意思是“在前面”，指空间、时间、位置超前，也可指关系“超过”“比…强”。ahead虽译为“在前”，但其含义有时却指“以后”，即“到将来”。
2. ahead常修饰动词，在句中作状语, 也可修饰名词或名词性短语，在句中作后置定语。
3. ahead还可作表语，后面接介词in时表示“在某方面领先”; 后面接介词of时表示“在前，优于，面临着”。
4. ahead不用于比较等级。

词义辨析

adv. (副词)

ahead of, in front of

• ahead of和in front of均可表示“在…前面”，指具体的或比喻的空间时，两者均可使用；指时间时，只可使用ahead of。例如：
• He was running 50 meters ahead of〔before〕 me.他跑在我前面50米。
• At that moment two girls passed in front of me.那时有两个姑娘在我面前经过。
• They say there is a great future ahead of me.他们说我有远大的前程。
• You have a splendid life in front of you.你有大好的前程。

ahead, before, forward

• 这组词的共同含义是指“在某时间或地点以前”，其区别是：
• 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。

常见错误

adv. (副词)

1. 他们提前到达目的地。

   误 They reached their aims in front of time.

   正 They reached their aims ahead of time.

   析 指时间时，只可使用ahead of。
