英美音标 英 [ɪn'sjuː] 美 [ɪn'suː]
中文释义 v.跟着发生;继起;因而产生
英语例句 (1) Observers waited for mayhem to ensue.
中文例句 (1) 观察者等候伤害罪之一种跟着发生。
vocabulary简明 If something happens after something else, it will ensue, meaning it will follow after or be the result. When a sneeze comes out, and he hears the "Achoo!," a "Bless you" or "Gesundheit" soon will ensue.
vocabulary扩展 One way to remember the verb ensue is to rhyme it with "due." A happening that is due to happen will ensue, "Throwing a glass of ice water in his face guaranteed that a chase would ensue." Often what follows is a response to words or actions, so what will ensue is what will happen as a consequence. A struggle might ensue if a thief grabs a purse, and a discussion might ensue if two sides disagree.
