一、详细释义：


adv.

因此，所以，结果


例句：

The company went bankrupt and consequently he lost his job.

公司破产，因此他失业了。


例句：

I missed the train and consequently was late for work.

我没有赶上火车，结果上班迟到了。


例句：

The rain was heavy and [consequently] the land was flooded.

雨下得很大，因此这地方发大水了。


二、词义辨析：


accordingly,consequently,hence,so,therefore,thus

这些连接副词均有“因此，所以”之意。 accordingly书面用词，强调根据某种原因而得出的结果，其前可用冒号或分号，但不用逗号。 consequently正式用词，侧重符合逻辑的结果。 hence较正式用词，指接下来的东西是理所当然的必需的东西，但强调其重要性。 so用于比较随便的场合，口语中多用。 therefore通常指引出一个推断出的必然结论。 thus多用于书面语中，可与therefore换用。


三、参考例句：


I missed the train and consequently was late for school.

我错过了那趟火车，因此上学迟到了。


My car broke down and consequently I was late.

我的车坏了，所以我迟到了。
