n. 前面（front的名词复数）；前线；一面；幌子

in front of，ahead of

【解说】ahead of和in front of均可表示“在…前面”，指具体的或比喻的空间时，两者均可使用；指时间时，只可使用ahead of。例如He was running50meters ahead of（before〕me.他跑在我前面50米。At that moment two girls passed in front of me.那时有两个姑娘在我面前经过。They say there is a great future ahead of me.他们说我有远大的前程。You have a splendid life in front of you.你有大好的前程。in front of，in the front of

【解说】这两个短语都可译为“在…的前面”，它们之间的区别是前者主要指在某物体外面的前面，即两者是分开的；而后者则指在某物体内部的前面，即两者是包容的。试比较He's sitting in front of the car with the driver.他跟司机坐在车子的前面。(两人在车外)He's sitting in the front of the car with the driver.他跟司机坐在车子的前面。(两人在车里)come to the front，go to the front

【解说】这两个短语的意思是不同的前者的意思是“露头角”或“显赫起来”；后者的意思是“上前线”。试比较Brooks has come to the front recently.布鲁克斯最近吃香起来了。Our troops have gone to the front.我们的部队已开赴前线。
