advance

★★★★
🇺🇸 /ʌdvˈæns/ 🇬🇧 /ədˈvɑːns/
adj 编号: A00584 牛津3000 BNC #1880 COCA #2296
advance 的核心意思是“向前推进或提前发生”，可引申为进步、预先支付、提高价格，以及促进某人的目标。
💡 记忆钩子
把 advance 想成“向前走一步”：事情提前了，是“预先的”；能力向前走，是“进步”；钱先向前给，是“预付款”；价格向上走，是“上涨”；帮助目标向前走，就是“促进”。
📝 学习建议
  • 先掌握“向前推进、进步”和“提前、预先”这条主线，再学习金钱和价格方面的引申义。
  • 不要把 advance 一律理解成“前进”；在 advance payment 等搭配中，它表示“预先”，而在 advance someone's interests 中表示“促进”。
📖 中文释义
adj
  • core 预先的；提前的
    📖 指在某个必要时间、截止时间或重要事件之前就完成或发生的事情。
    💡 常用结构是 advance + 名词，如 advance payment、advance warning。它强调“时间提前”，不一定表示质量更好或地位更高；中文学习者容易把它误解成“先进的”。
    We need advance notice before changing the meeting time.
    我们需要在更改会议时间前提前通知。
    She made an advance payment for the equipment.
    她为这批设备预先付款。
  • common 先行的；提前到达的
    📖 指在主要人物、队伍或事件之前先到达或先开展工作的部分。
    💡 常见结构是 advance + 人或团队相关名词，如 advance team、advance man。这里的 advance 表示“先行”，不是说这个人处于更高等级；它多用于组织活动、竞选或行动的语境。
    The advance team arrived to prepare the hall.
    先遣队抵达后准备会场。
  • common 前进的；前方的
    📖 指向前方移动，或位于队伍、行动路线前面的事物。
    💡 常见结构是 advance + 地点或基地类名词，如 advance base。它强调位置或行动方向在前，不等于“未来的”；修饰具体地点时尤其要注意这一点。
    The soldiers set up an advance base near the river.
    士兵们在河边建立了一个前进基地。

noun
  • core 进步；进展
    📖 指某种能力、知识、健康状况或事业向前发展，比原来更进一步。
    💡 最常见结构是 an advance in + 名词，如 an advance in medicine；也可用 make advances。不要只把它译成“前进”，在抽象领域中通常应理解为“进步”或“进展”。
    Recent advances in medicine have saved many lives.
    医学近来的进步挽救了许多生命。
    The project has made great advances this year.
    这个项目今年取得了很大进展。
  • common 预付款；预支款
    📖 指在应付款日期之前先给出的钱，也可以指提前借给某人的一笔钱。
    💡 常见结构是 receive or get an advance，以及 an advance on + 工资、费用等。它既可表示预付款，也可表示预支或借款，必须根据上下文判断；不要把它和普通的 payment 完全等同。
    The company gave her an advance on next month's salary.
    公司预支了她下个月的一部分工资。
  • common 上涨；涨价
    📖 指商品的价格或某种价值向上增加。
    💡 常见结构是 an advance in + 价格或价值，也可说 an advance on the old price。这个名词义强调“上涨这一变化”，而不是单纯表示价格很高。
    The advance in fuel prices has affected everyone.
    燃油价格的上涨影响了每个人。
  • rare 主动接近；示好
    📖 指主动向某人接近或提出接触，尤其常指令人不舒服的示好或性方面的接近。
    💡 通常用复数 advances，常见结构是 make advances to/toward someone。涉及性意味时应保持中性、谨慎的表达；不要把它误解为普通的“进步”。
    in-plural often
advances plural
verb
  • core 促进；推动
    📖 指帮助某个目标、事业、利益或计划向前发展，使它取得进展。
    💡 常见结构是 advance + 目标，如 advance a cause、advance someone's interests。这里通常是及物动词，后面需要直接接被推动的对象；不要只理解成身体位置上的“前进”。
    The new policy could advance women's rights.
    这项新政策可能促进妇女权利的发展。
    She took the job to advance her career.
    她接受这份工作是为了推动自己的职业发展。
  • core 使向前移动；使提前
    📖 指让人、物体或时间向前移动，或把某件事安排到更早的时间。
    💡 及物结构是 advance + 宾语，如 advance the date；表示向前移动时也可用 advance the troops。不要在这个及物义后漏掉宾语；若主语自己向前走，应使用不及物义。
    The airline advanced the departure time by two hours.
    航空公司把出发时间提前了两个小时。
    The commander advanced the troops toward the town.
    指挥官让部队向城镇推进。
  • common 前进；推进
    📖 指人、队伍或事物自己向前移动，尤其是朝某个地点或目标推进。
    💡 常见结构是 advance toward/into + 地点，也可以单独使用。这个用法是不及物的，不能直接接地点作宾语；应说 advance toward the door，而不是把地点直接接在动词后。
    intransitive
    The hikers advanced slowly toward the mountain pass.
    徒步旅行者慢慢向山口前进。
  • rare 举起；抬起
    📖 指把身体某部分向上抬起，是较古老的用法，现代普通英语中很少见。
    💡 这是古旧或文学性的及物用法，通常不应作为初学阶段的常用表达。现代英语中表示“举起”一般使用 raise 或 lift；不要把本义误套到日常会话中。
    archaic transitive
  • common 提高；抬高
    📖 指把价格、费用或其他数值提高，使它向上变化。
    💡 常见结构是 advance + 价格或费用，如 advance prices；它是及物用法，后面直接接被提高的数值。日常表达中 raise prices 通常更自然，advance 往往较正式或书面。
    The bakery advanced its prices after flour became more expensive.
    面粉涨价后，这家面包店提高了商品价格。
  • common 上涨；增加
    📖 指价格、价值或数值自行向上增加，而不是某人直接把它提高。
    💡 这是不及物用法，主语通常是价格、股票或价值，如 prices advanced。表示一般日常涨价时 rise 或 go up 更常见；不要把不及物用法后面再直接接价格作为宾语。
    intransitive
    Oil prices advanced after the supply cut was announced.
    宣布减产后，石油价格上涨了。
