Onwards

“Onwards” 是副词,意为“向前、继续向前”或“从今往后”。常与 from、and 连用,如 from this day onwards(从今往后)、move onwards(继续前进)。英式英语更常用 onwards,美式更常说 onward,但含义相同。也用于鼓励语气,如 onwards and upwards(再接再厉)。

  1. “From that moment onwards, she never looked back.” (从那一刻起,她再也没有回头。)
  2. “The hikers pressed onwards through the rain.” (徒步者在雨中继续向前。)
  3. “The policy applies to all bookings made from July onwards.” (该政策适用于七月起的一切预订。)

“Onwards” 由 on(在……上、继续)与 ward(s)(朝向)构成,ward(s) 表方向,类似 forward、backward、homeward。

“-ward(s)” 为方向后缀,表示“朝……方向”;on- 在此强调持续或沿某路径推进,整体即“继续向前”。

在英式演讲与标语中,onwards 常带励志色彩;onward 也作形容词(the onward journey)。体育、创业语境里 “onwards and upwards” 表示乐观进取。

  • 固定搭配: “from now onwards” (从今往后), “move onwards” (继续前进), “onwards and upwards” (再接再厉)
  • 美式变体: onward(副词/形容词)

on + wards:像 on 着一条路一直 ward(朝前)走——onwards 就是“继续向前”。

“After the setback, the coach told the team to pick themselves up and march onwards to the next match.” (受挫后,教练让队员们振作起来,朝下一场比赛继续前进。)
