Question

请教一句英语,这里的用法是否正确?pre和post用于指洗手前后?这样合适么
 

Answer 1

应该这么说：
Please wash your hands before and after patient contact.
pre和post在表示在.之前,在.之后,不能单独作为一个词语使用,
它们只能是其它词语的前缀,组合在一起成了 在.之前,在.之后
例如pre
1.You are advised to pre-book.\x05
敬请预约.
2.Few of the town's fine buildings pre-date the earthquake of 1755.\x05
该城的精美建筑很少是1755年大地震前建成的.
再如post
1.There was the usual romantic postscript at the end of his letter.\x05
他的信末又是一贯的浪漫附言.
2.It won't hurt to postpone the matter for a few days.\x05
此事耽搁几天无所影响.
3.I shall postpone making a decision till I learn full particulars.\x05
在未获悉详情之前我得从缓作出决定.
