专业提示

避免误用

不要将'following that'用于描述因果关系。例如错误:'He was tired. Following that, he slept.'(疲劳导致睡觉是因果关系,应改为'Because he was tired, he slept.')。

黄金法则

时间顺序标记

使用'following that'时,确保后续事件确实发生在前一事件之后,避免逻辑混乱。

词源

由介词'following'(跟随)和指示代词'that'(那)组成,源于古英语'folgerian'(跟随)和古英语'þæt'(指示代词)。在中世纪英语中逐渐形成用于时间顺序的连接短语。

用法说明

1. 通常用于书面或正式口语中,强调两个事件的时间顺序。 2. 不能用于描述因果关系,仅表示时间上的先后。 3. 可与逗号连用(如:Following that, ...)或直接连接句子。
