A series of things does not have to be in any logical order, but a sequence of things probably will be. Sequence usually suggests that each event, action or number is connected in some way to the previous one. * a series of表示一系列獨立個體,盡管它們在某些方面相似,但每一個體都有自身特點,有别於其他個體。series中的事物不必按邏輯順序排列,而sequence中的事物則很可能存在順序。sequence通常意味着每個事件、行動或數字與前面一個存在着某種聯系。■order [uncountable, countable] the way in which a number of people or things are placed or arranged in relation to each other, that decides what comes first, what comes second, etc.(人或事物的)順序,次序◆The names are listed in alphabetical order.這些姓名是按字母順序排列的。◆We will deal with cases in order of importance.我們將按重要性排序依次處理這些案件。◆Winners are announced in reverse order.獲勝者是從後到前依次宣布的。◆The information is given in no particular order.信息的發布沒有特定的順序。ⓘ The emphasis with order is on the system used to arrange things, rather than the set of things themselves. * order強調的是事物的排列方法,而不是這些事物本身。 see also order ⇨ rankverb■chain [countable] a series of connected things or people, especially when they lead to a particular result一系列,一連串(人或事物)◆I was next in the chain of command(= a system by which instructions are passed from one person to another).我處在指揮系統的下一級。◆Middlemen are important links in the chain.中間人是關系鏈中的重要環節。◆Volunteers formed a human chain to pass buckets of water to each other.志願者排成一條長龍,逐個把水桶傳過去。ⓘ The collocates of chain in this meaning bring to mind the literal meaning of the word.
