词根

"Beforehand" 是由 "before" (在之前)和 "hand" (手)两个词组成,"hand" 在这里是一个表示状态或位置的词。 这个单词本身就具有完整的意思,因此我们并不能从词根中推导出其他单词。

释义

adv. 事先;预先 adj. 提前的;预先准备好的

例句

I wish we'd known about it beforehand.
要是我们预先知道这事就好了。
I have to say in her defence that she knew nothing about it beforehand.
我得为她说句话,她事先并不知道此事。
It is reasonable to assume that he knew beforehand that this would happen.
有理由认为他事先就知道会发生这样的事。

强化记忆

一种记忆的方式是将 "beforehand" 拆分为 "before" 和 "hand",并以此形象化为在事情到来之前已经摆在手上,意即提前准备好。"Beforehand" 这个词语起源于中古英语的 "biforen hand" ,在早期英语中,"hand" 有时被用来表示位置或状态。于是“biforen hand”被直译为在手之前,即事先,提前。
