用法模式：
to do [something] forthwith
常见错误：
Learners often think "forthwith" can be used in everyday casual speech instead of "right away" or "immediately". In modern English, "forthwith" sounds formal or legal and is mainly used in official writing, legal documents, and very formal instructions.

Learners may assume this old use of "forthwith" meaning "from now on" is still common. In modern English, this meaning is extremely rare and "henceforth" or "from now on" are normally used instead.
