喜樂美語
  1. 1隨之發生、接著發生（多半是前一件事引起的）

    If something ensues, it happens after something else, often because of it. There was a pause, and then an argument ensued. The lights went out, and chaos ensued. It is a formal, slightly old-fashioned verb you meet in news, history, and stories; in speech people say happened next or followed. It does not take an object: things ensue; you do not 'ensue a result'. The mood is often 'and then, as you might expect, this came'. Though actually, it need not be a bad thing — peace can ensue — but English uses it so often with fighting, confusion, and silence that it can feel a little ominous. It comes from older French and Latin words for following after.

組成From Old French ensuivre, 'follow close after', from Latin in- (upon) + sequi (follow).
