In the event of rain the game will be cancelled.
如果下雨,比赛将被取消。
注释:
1. in the event of表示“万一发生……;如果是那样子的话;假若……”,我们也可以用in the event that,或是in that event。这里不仅是在描述未来的一种可能性,更强调如果事情真的发生了打算怎么办。
You use in the event of, in the event that, and in that event when you are talking about a possible future situation, especially when you are planning what to do if it occurs.
2. 需要注意的是,如果是in the event,则表示“结果,到头来”。我们来看一个例句:
We had expected to arrive an hour late, but in the event we were early.
我们本以为要迟到一个小时,但最后来早了。
前一句描述了可能发生、但最终没有发生的事,in the event后接过去实际发生的情况,表示“结果”。
You say in the event after you have been discussing what could have happened in a particular situation, in order to indicate that you are now describing what actually did happen. |
