Henceforward

“Henceforward” 是副词,意为“从现在开始”。它是一个比较正式的用语,常出现在法律文件、正式公告或文学作品中。

  1. “Henceforward, all visitors must sign in at the front desk.” (从今以后,所有访客必须在前台登记。)
  2. “The company announced that henceforward, remote work would be a permanent option.” (公司宣布,从今以后,远程办公将成为一个永久选项。)
  3. “He vowed that henceforward, he would be more honest with himself.” (他发誓从今以后要对自己更加诚实。)

由 “hence” (从此时/此处) 和 “forward” (向前) 组成。

复合词。

  • “hence”: 源自古英语,意为“从这里出发”。
  • “forward”: 向前的方向。

由于其正式性,“henceforward” 常给人一种决断感和权威感。它标志着一个规则或状态的永久性转变。

  • 近义词: “henceforth” (更为常用)

“Hence” (因此/从此) + “forward” (向前)。逻辑是:从此(时间点)向前(推进),即“从今以后”。

“After the peace treaty was signed, the two nations declared that henceforward, they would resolve all disputes through dialogue instead of war. A new era of cooperation had finally begun.” (和平条约签署后,两国宣布从今以后将通过对话而非战争来解决所有争端。一个合作的新时代终于开始了。)
