- 1衍生後果、後續影響(多半是當初沒看清楚的)
A ramification is an extra result that grows out of something you have already done, especially one that was not clear when you first decided. English nearly always uses the plural: the ramifications of a law, a war, a lie, a quiet yes.
A ramification ramification這個字 is是指 an extra result多出來的一個結果 that grows out of從...衍生出來的 something you have already done你已經做過的某件事, especially尤其是 one that was not clear一開始不清楚的那種 when you first decided當你剛做決定的時候。English英文 nearly always幾乎都 uses the plural用複數: the ramifications of a law一項法律的後續影響, a war一場戰爭的, a lie一個謊言的, a quiet yes一個默默的答應的。
It is a serious, slightly formal word; in easy talk people more often say consequences or what followed from that. The honest picture is a tree.
It它 is是 a serious, slightly formal word一個嚴肅、有點正式的字; in easy talk在輕鬆的對話裡 people大家 more often比較常 say會說 consequences consequences or或是 what followed from that由那件事引發的結果。The honest picture老實說整個畫面 is就是 a tree一棵樹。
Your action is the trunk, and later effects split off like branches — some small, some that change everything. Speakers often have the awkward branches in mind, the political, legal, or family trouble that appears later, though the word itself does not have to be negative.
Your action你的行動 is是 the trunk樹幹, and而 later effects後來造成的影響 split off像樹枝一樣分岔開來 like branches, some有些 small小小的, some有些 that change everything會改變一切的。Speakers說話的人 often常常 have想到的 the awkward branches in mind是那些麻煩的樹枝, the political, legal, or family trouble政治、法律或家庭上的麻煩 that appears later後來才浮現的, though即使 the word itself這個字本身 does not have to be negative不一定是負面的意思。
It just means what follows, in all directions, including the parts you did not plan for.
It它 just means只是指 what follows接下來發生的事, in all directions往各個方向, including包括 the parts you did not plan for你沒有計畫到的那些部分。
