关键使用提醒
1.可数名词属性:incident 是可数名词,表达 “一件事” 用an incident,多件事用incidents,不能说 “a incident”(元音音素开头,用 an)。
2.语义范围:incident 的语义范围比 accident 广,所有 accident 都可以算 incident,但 incident 不一定是 accident。
3.写作加分:描述日常发生的小事时,用 incident 代替简单的 “thing”,让表达更精准,比如 “我经历了一件有趣的事”→ I experienced a funny incident.(比 I experienced a funny thing 更地道)。
