timely access to information

timely 的英文解釋是 happening at the right time, 正是我們常說「及時」的意思, 表示一些事情或人物剛好發生或出現, 從而得到正面的效果、或避免了負面情況。

access 是‘取出’、‘得到’、‘使用’, 不過與 timely 相反, 它的英文解釋是比較清楚：the opportunity or right to use something or to see something, 有 獲准接觸或使用的含意 (有別於可以隨時隨意自行接觸或使用)。

timely access to information = 及時接觸到(取得)資料(資訊)


例如： Timely access to information on the suspect’s bank accounts enabled the police to arrest him at the airport before he tried to leave Hong Kong (警方及時取得疑犯的銀行户口資料, 可以在他企圖離開香港時把他拘捕)

使用 timely 的另一例子：A fight between the two students was prevented by the timely arrival of the teacher (老師及時趕到, 避免兩個學生打起來)
