词语用法

1. forward和forwards的比较：forwards常表示跟其他方向不同的一个明确的方向。在某些程度上来说，两者的意思上没有太大差异。但是现在有些句式中只使用其中的一个。但是现有将forward慢慢取代forwards的趋势。在用作形容词，名词或动词的时候，只用forward，而在用作副词的时候，仍习惯多用forward，偶尔用forwards；

   The ratchet-wheel can move only forwards.
   My companion has gone forward.

2. forward在商业文件中也表示为“送”或“寄”。

   We shall forward the goods this afternoon.
   We forwarded you the invoice the day before yesterday.

3. 有时forward可用作不及物动词，但应尽量避免。

   Please sign the card and forward together with a cheque for ￥20.

adv. (副词)

1. forward的基本意思是“向前,前进”,指在运动的过程中呈现出向前的趋势,多用来修饰动态动词。
2. forward在英式英语中有时也可写成forwards,二者并无意义上的差别,只是后者只能用于副词,而前者则还可用于形容词和动词。
3. forward可用于look forward to结构, to用作介词,其后只能接名词或动名词,不可接动词原形。

adj. (形容词)

1. forward用作形容词时的意思是“向前方的,向前进的,位于前面的”,指事物处于一种向前的趋势或状态。forward也可指植物或儿童“早熟的,发育早的”; 还可以指事物处于未知的状态,即“未来的,与未来有关的”。forward引申可指“冒失的,无礼的”。
2. forward作“向前方的,向前进的,位于前面的”解时无比较级和最高级形式。

v. (动词)

1. forward用作动词时意思是“发送”“转寄”,尤指“转发”,其对象可以是信件、包裹,也可以是货物等; 有时也可表示“前进”“放在前面”,即把事物推向前进,一般译为“促进”。
2. forward主要用作及物动词,后接名词或代词作宾语。可用于被动结构。
3. forward作“发送”“转寄”解时,可接双宾语,其间接宾语可以转化为介词to的宾语。
4. forward的现在分词forwarding可用作形容词,在句中作定语。

词义辨析

adv. (副词)

forward, ahead, before

• 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。

adj. (形容词)

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。

v. (动词)

forward, remit, send

• 这组词都有“发送”“邮寄”的意思。其区别是：
• 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

• 这些动词均含“送出，发送，传送”之意。
• send普通最常用词，含义广。指把人或物由一地送往另一地，而不涉及事物的内容或 送的方式。
• deliver指把信件、包裹等物寄发出去或交到某地，或直接交与某人，着重发送这一行为。
• dispatch指为特殊目的而发送或派遣，强调紧急或快速。
• forward指经过其他人或手段把东西转送给某人，（电子邮件）转发。
• ship把通过水运、陆运或空运等方式运送东西。现常指商业上的运货，或将物品托运。
• transmit指将文件、消息等的内容或类似的东西发至某地或传达给他人。

常见错误

adv. (副词)

1. 我企盼着你的来信。

   误 I am looking forward to hear from you.

   正 I am looking forward to hearing from you.

   析 在look forward to中, to是介词,其后不可接动词原形。

词源解说

• ☆ 直接源自古英语的foreweard，意为向前。
