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。
