    小知识

    The anterior of anything is the front — in humans, it's the area toward the head of the body, opposite of the posterior. Anterior can also refer to something that came before, as in “anterior to the discovery of vaccines.”

    The word anterior is one of those words that are spelled the same in English today as they were in their Latin origins. It still has the same meaning — “former” or “before.” You can remember that by remembering that the prefix ante- means “before.” Emily Dickinson once wrote, “Love is anterior to life, posterior to death, initial of creation, and the exponent of breath.”
