由於最近這個詞出現的頻率很高，所以陸續有同學寫信問我「超前部署」的英文是不是「advanced deployment 」？
★★★★★★★★★★★★
１、「advanced」意味著在「程度／層次」（level）上是更高等的、更高級的，例如：
➣ an advanced English course
進階英語課程／高階英語課程／高級英語課程（相對於初、中級）
➣ advanced learners of English
進階英語學習者／高階英語學習者／高級英語學習者
➣ advanced physics
高等物理
★★★★★★★★★★★★
２、「advanced」也可以表示非常現代的、最新的（modern），例如：
➣ advanced weapon systems
先進武器系統
➣ advanced technology
先進技術／前瞻技術
➣ high levels of unemployment in advanced industrial societies
先進工業社會的高失業率

３、若你想表達某事發生在其他事之前，則須用——「in advance (of something)」。例如：
➣ I should warn you in advance that I’m not a very good dancer.
我應該事先告訴你，我不是一位出色的舞者。
➣ Many thanks, in advance, for your help.
在此先感謝您的幫助。
➣ The Assembly passed legislation which required organizers of demonstrations to apply three days in advance for government approval.
議會通過了立法，要求示威的組織者提前三天申請政府批准。

４、在中文的語境裡，「超前部署」本為國軍術語，用於軍事上的部署與配置。因今年疫情而輾轉進入公眾視野，也成為公共衛生的防疫語彙。在英文裡，若想表達兵力上的預置，你可以說：
➣ the early deployment of troops
➣ deploy troops in advance (of something)
➣ deploy troops in preparation (of something)
➣ deploy troops ahead of something
「超前部署」見於國軍「主動防救」的災防思維，國軍採「超前部署、預置兵力、隨時防救」的作法，以因應重大天災對國家安全的威脅。詳參：https://bit.ly/2WuyIXb

５、在英文裡，「advanced deployment」雖是慣用語，但多用於計算（computing）以及網路管理（network administration），其中涉及較高階的（higher-level）電腦或系統的安裝過程，以利於真實環境裡的高效作業。

６、可能有些文章會使用「advance deployment」來作為「超前部署」的英文用法，以表達對流行疫情所採取的準備措施。但在英文裡，這並不是常見的用法：
That decision did make inconveniences to passengers and losses to THSRC, but that measure in conjunction with Taiwan’s “advance deployment” has indeed effectively reduced the risk of people being over-exposed in mass transportation.

７、「超前部署」雖可置於防疫的語境中，但在英文裡並沒有一個全然相應的用法。而在中文與英文的脈絡下，其所關聯的語意也不盡相同。英語使用者通常會這麼說：
❖ 用法Ａ： (early) preventive measures
“A contact-tracing app developed in Singapore as a preventive measure against the coronavirus.”
詳參《紐約時報》：https://nyti.ms/3bjfxDT
“For the general public, basic preventive measures include keeping a safe distance of 1 to 2 metres, washing hands with soap for 20 seconds or using a hand sanitiser, wearing a face mask if crowded situations cannot be avoided and not touching one’s eyes, nose, and mouth.”
詳參《路透社》：https://reut.rs/3fEMZrK
❖ 用法Ｂ：「something＋prevention measures」也頗為常見
“Efforts are better spent boosting infection-prevention measures at hospitals.”
詳參《經濟學人》：https://econ.st/2YUoMYu
“Vice Premier Chen Chi-Mai shared Taiwan’s deployment of big data in our epidemic-prevention measures with two professors visiting from Stanford, C. Jason Wang, director of the Center for Policy, Outcomes and Prevention, and health law scholar Michelle M. Mello.”
