💡专业提示

避免误解

'cancel an event'指的是完全取消,而非仅仅延期或推迟。在需要延期时,应使用'postpone'或'reschedule'。

⚡黄金法则

正式场合用语

在商务邮件或正式文件中,'cancel'是最合适的表达。例如:'Due to unforeseen circumstances, we regret to inform you that the seminar has been canceled.'

📖词源

由动词'cancel'(取消)和名词'event'(活动)组成。'cancel'源自拉丁语'cancellare'(删除、抹去),后经古法语进入英语;'event'源自拉丁语'eventus'(结果、发生)。

📝用法说明

在商务或正式场合常用'cancel',而在非正式场合也可用'call off'。注意区分'cancel'(主动取消)和'postpone'(延期)。
