ante與anti的區別

對於這兩個前綴，記住詞彙的意義就是記住這兩種拼寫的最佳方法啦~

以ante-開頭的詞彙：

When the meaning is ‘before’ or ‘in front of’, you need to use ante-. It comes from the Latin word ante which has the same - is used to form words likeantenatal (= before birth) andantechamber (= a small room leading to a bigger one). There aren't very many ‘ante-’ words in general use. Here's a list of the most common ones – note that none of them are hyphenated:

當詞彙含有“在…以前（before）”或“在…之前（in front of）”的意義時，應該使用ante-。該詞來源於同義拉丁詞彙ante。ante-常用於形成類似於antenatal（=出生前）以及antechamber（=前廳）的詞彙。ante-前綴的使用並不多，以下是一些常用詞彙，請注意，這些詞彙沒有連字符。

以anti-開頭的詞彙：

When the meaning is ‘against’ or ‘preventing’, you need to useanti-, which comes from the Greek word anti. It's used to form words such as antifreeze (= asubstance that prevents water from freezing) or antidepressant (= a drug used to relieve depression).

當詞彙含有“反對（against）”或“阻止（preventing）”的意義時，應該使用anti-。該詞來源於希臘詞彙anti。anti-常用於形成類似於antifreeze（=防凍劑）以及antidepressant（=抗抑鬱劑）的詞彙。

Words which begin with anti- are sometimes hyphenated, typically when the word following anti- begins with a vowel (e.g. anti-aircraft, anti-inflammatory) and always when the base word begins with a capital letter (e.g., anti-American).

以anti-開頭的詞彙常有連字符，以元音開頭（比如 anti-aircraft（防空）、anti-inflammatory（消炎））或者詞幹常以大寫字母開頭（比如anti-American （反美））
