vanguard
含义: The foremost part of an advancing army or fleet; by extension, the leading position in a movement, field of activity, or trend.
Vanguard has moved from its original military sense to become a standard metaphor for pioneering leadership. 'At the vanguard of' or 'in the vanguard of' introduces whoever is at the cutting edge of a development — in technology, art, politics, or science. The related term 'avant-garde' retains a specifically artistic meaning. Vanguard implies not just being first but leading the way for others. It collocates with 'at the vanguard,' 'in the vanguard of,' 'vanguard technology,' and 'vanguard role.'
