    Furtherance is the act of helping something move forward or get done. It is a formal, often legal, noun.

    Furtherance is furtherance是指 helping something move forward or get done幫助某件事情往前推進或完成的 the act of這個動作。It is它是 a formal, often legal, noun一個正式、常用在法律上的名詞。

    You will see it most in the set phrase in furtherance of: in order to help that plan, that job, or (in court) that crime along. “In furtherance of the investigation” means to help the investigation proceed. Everyday English prefers helping, supporting, or so that we can.

    You will see it most你最常會看到它 in the set phrase用在這個固定片語裡 in furtherance of: 意思是為了幫助 that plan, that job, or (in court) that crime along那個計畫、那件工作,或(在法庭上)那件罪行繼續進行。'In furtherance of the investigation'這句話 means意思是 to help the investigation proceed幫助調查繼續進行。Everyday English日常英文 prefers比較常用 helping, supporting, or so that we can這幾種說法。

    Though actually the tidy gloss “progress” can sound too cheerful: furtherance does not praise the thing being helped. You can speak of the furtherance of science, or of the furtherance of a fraud.

    Though actually不過 the tidy gloss "progress"簡單翻成「進展」 can sound too cheerful聽起來可能太正面了: furtherance does not praise並不是在稱讚 the thing being helped被幫助的那件事。You can speak of你可以說 the furtherance of science「科學的furtherance」 or of也可以說 the furtherance of a fraud「詐騙的furtherance」。

    The word only names the pushing-along.

    The word這個字 only names只是在講 the pushing-along「推一把」這件事本身。

    • Though so profound a double-dealer, I was in no sense a hypocrite; both sides of me were in dead earnest; I was no more myself when I laid aside restraint and plunged in shame, than when I laboured, in the eye of day, at the furtherance of knowledge or the relief of sorrow and suffering.
