这两个词分别有个用法值得介绍一下,先看这个句子:
Most beauty parlors offer the basics-hair styling, makeup, hair washing, and simple massages-but there are also shops that double as fronts for prostitution. 
1. double的这个用法以前好像介绍过,这是一个很好用的词,科林斯解释如下:
If a person or thing doubles as someone or something else, they have a second job or purpose as well as their main one. 两个例句:

...a farmer who doubles as a night nurse.

Lots of homes in town double as businesses.

2. front这里的用法也值得记住,科林斯解释如下:
An organization or activity that is a front for one that is illegal or secret is used to hide it. 摘录两个例句:

...a firm later identified by the police as a front for crime syndicates.

He said the present civilian government is just a front for the old military regime.
