大家好,欢迎来到可可口语课堂,今天我们来学两个单词,sequence和consequence。
sequence n. 顺序;连续;次序

我们将按照历史上的先后顺序研究这些事件。
historical sequence 历史顺序
a sequence of 一系列的

in sequence依次,逐一

他按先后次序描述了那一天发生的种种事件。

请把这些卡片按次序放好,别把它们搅乱了。
Sequence还可以作动词,意思是“按顺序排好”。
Please sequence the names in alphabetical order.
请按字母顺序排列好名单。
alphabetical order 字母顺序
现在我们来学习另外一个单词,sequence之前加上con,consequence表示“结果;后果;重要性;影响 ”。把这两个单词记到一起,我们来组一个短语:the consequence of a sequence of events 一系列事件的后果。现在我们来学习consequence常用的短语表达:
in consequence of 由于;因为

in consequence of 因此,结果,相当于as a result

answer for the consequences 对后果负责

If you go on doing this, we won't answer for the consequences.
如果你们继续这样干,后果我们将不负责。

承担后果还有一个常见的表达是:take the consequence。
