正如布莱恩加纳(Bryan Garner)在Garner's Modern English Usage(加纳现代英语用法)(2016)中说到的一样,“即使是单词量很大的人有时会分不清楚Precede 和 Proceed。两个英语单词都有‘继续前进’的意思,但用法不一样。” 下面中加雅思·留学老师就来谈谈这两个英语单词的运用。
Precede 和 Proceed的定义
Precede,动词,指在……之前发生或出现; 在…之上/前面的位置(顺序),优于(等级)。Precede的形容词形式为Preceding。
Proceed,动词,指在做完其他事情后继续做,继续前进。Proceed也有收入获利的意思。其过去是Proceeded,复数形式为Proceeds, 意指从特定活动或事件中获得的酬劳。
Precede 和 Proceed英语单词运用例句
例1:At most movie theaters, previews of upcoming films usually precede the main feature.(大多数电影院都会播放即将上映的电影预告片,透露影片情节。)
例2:Most children need a break after a long sedentary day at school. Relaxing and letting off steam, preferably through some kind of outdoor physical exercise, should always precede settling back down to schoolwork.(在学校长时间久坐不动的一天结束后,大部分的孩子都喜欢通过户外体育锻炼出出汗放松放松,不过放松过后要好好完成学校作业。)
例3:Every three months he visited our church, stayed at Momma's over the Saturday night and preached a loud passionate sermon on Sunday. He collected the money that had been taken in over the preceding months, heard reports from all the church groups and shook hands with the adults and kissed the children.(他每三个月都会过来我们的教堂,星期六晚上住在妈妈家,星期天就来宣讲布道。他前几个月就把自己攒下的钱给花掉了,拿去听了所有教会团体的报告,并与他们握手、亲吻孩子。)
例4:Despite the bad weather, we decided to proceed after having walked this far.(尽管天气不好,我们还是决定在走完这么远的路后继续前行。)
例5:The gravel lot that had surrounded the diner was occupied now by a great cube of brown-tinted glass, the branch of a statewide bank.

Precede 和 Proceed英语单词运用的简单记法
Proceed为继续做某事,先做了e这件事再继续做e,没有断开,所以2个e连在一起。
Precede在……之前,在单词拼写中有3个e,第一个e在第二个e之前,第二个e在第三个e之前。或者“pre”这个前缀就有“在……之前”的含义,比如pre-pare就是事先准备的意思。
