跟艾米莉一起學(xué)口語 第802期:"in case of"和"in case"有什么區(qū)別？

in case of...

萬一；如果；防備

in case也是表示“以防；萬一”，但是in case后面接條件狀語從句，而in case of后面接名詞或代詞等。

You'd better take an umbrella in case of rain.

=You'd better take an umbrella in case it rains.

你最好帶把雨傘，以防下雨。

Conversaton:

A: It's the conference room ready?

會(huì)議室準(zhǔn)備好了嗎？

B: Yes. I have put the meeting agenda and the minute book on the conference table. There are also papers and pens next to each nameplate. But I found something confusing on the nameplates.

準(zhǔn)備好了。我已經(jīng)把會(huì)議議程和會(huì)議記錄本放在會(huì)議室的桌子上了。每個(gè)姓名牌的旁邊也都有紙張和鋼筆，不過我在姓名牌上發(fā)現(xiàn)了讓人感到困惑的事情。

A: What is it?

什么事兒？

B: Two of them were misspelled on the nameplates, a bit different from what I had seen on the file.

其中兩個(gè)姓名牌上名字的拼寫方式不對(duì)，跟我之前在文件上看到的有一些差異。

A: Remember to check it out in case of such a silly mistake.

記得去核對(duì)一下，以防出現(xiàn)這么低級(jí)的錯(cuò)誤。

B: Okay.

好的。

A: I remember there was something wrong with the projector in a conference room. Has it been adjusted this time?

我記得會(huì)議室里的投影有些問題，這次都已經(jīng)調(diào)整好了嗎？

B: Yes. I have asked a professional repairman to check it and he said that there is no big problem. Just be careful not to let the thread loose in the process of using it.

是的，我找專業(yè)的維修室檢查過了，說是沒有什么大問題。只要在使用過程中注意不要讓線頭松動(dòng)就行。

A: That's good. I come to tell you that you need to send the meeting notice to the attendees in advance. Once some people are unable to attend the meeting, we need to adjust immediately.

那就好。我是來告訴你，你需要提前將會(huì)議通知發(fā)送給參會(huì)者，一旦有些人無法參加這次會(huì)議，就需要立即做出調(diào)整。

B: Alright.

好的。

A: Additionally, you should personally check the necessary items in the meeting room, such as microphone, loudspeaker, lighting and so on. And make sure to provide boiling water, teacups and ashtrays at the conference table.

另外，你要親自檢查會(huì)議室必備的東西，比如話筒，擴(kuò)音器和燈光等。還有，到時(shí)一定要在會(huì)議桌上放開水，茶杯和煙灰缸。

B: OK, no problem. I will certainly do these things myself.

好的，沒問題，我一定會(huì)親自做這些事情的。
