Sequence usually suggests that each event, action or number is connected in some way to the previous one. * a series of表示一系列独立个体，尽管它们在某些方面相似，但每一个体都有自身特点，有别于其他个体。series中的事物不必按逻辑顺序排列，而sequence中的事物则很可能存在顺序。sequence通常意味着每个事件、行动或数字与前面一个存在着某种联系。■ order [uncountable, countable] the way in which a number of people or things are placed or arranged in relation to each other, that decides what comes first, what comes second, etc. （人或事物的）顺序，次序◆The names are listed in alphabetical order.这些姓名是按字母顺序排列的。◆We will deal with cases in order of importance.我们将按重要性排序依次处理这些案件。◆Winners are announced in reverse order.获胜者是从后到前依次宣布的。◆The information is given in no particular order.信息的发布没有特定的顺序。ⓘ The emphasis with order is on the system used to arrange things, rather than the set of things themselves. * order强调的是事物的排列方法，而不是这些事物本身。 see also order ⇨ rank verb ■ chain [countable] a series of connected things or people, especially when they lead to a particular result 一系列，一连串（人或事物）◆I was next in the chain of command (= a system by which instructions are passed from one person to another).我处在指挥系统的下一级。◆Middlemen are important links in the chain.中间人是关系链中的重要环节。◆Volunteers formed a human chain to pass buckets of water to each other.志愿者排成一条长龙，逐个把水桶传过去。ⓘ The collocates of chain in this meaning bring to mind the literal meaning of the word.
