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。

   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”。

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)

He is forward in helping others.

He is forward to help others.

He is forward with helping others.

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。

adv.(副词)

误 I am looking forward to hear from you.
