Question

这句子里front-loaded是什么意思
The race for the White House will be a marathon,from the front-loaded primary season in January and February to the general election in November.

Answer 1

这里的front-loaded要看你的上下文.一般来讲指的是前期的（一开始就）很高的费用、激烈的竞争、紧凑的日程,也有“accelerated”和“fast-forward” 之意.是否可以理解为：...from the front-loaded primary season in January and February....从一月和二月的日程紧凑的党内初选.例如：Complaints about the 2000 elections have centered on the heavily front-loaded primary season this year,which has fast-forwarded the primaries and made it so the nomination of both Republican and Democratic candidates could be essentially over in March.The reason for the accelerated primary schedule has to do with California,.
