問：in result與in the result有何分別？
答：in result 是指“結果”、“因此”, in the result 則是指“後來”、“結果是”、“最後”。請比較下列句子:
- The dam broke and in result the land was flooded.
大壩決堤了, 因此, 土地被淹了。 - You took a great risk, though in the result it did not turn out nearly so badly as it might have done.
儘管後來的結果沒有本可能會發生的那麼嚴重, 但你當初冒的險還是很大的。
