1. 作“提防”,“惟恐”这个意思讲, in case
of 和 for fear
of 是同义词,但不一定能通用:
in case
of 只能用来引导名词, for fear
of 多半引导动名词短语。
例如: In
case of fire, break the bottle. 如果发生火灾,请把瓶打破。
I always put some money in my pocket in case of
need. 我总是要在口袋里放一点钱以备需用。
2. 短语 in
case 是个连接语,作“假如”、“万一”讲。
例如: And now Hercules began to consider what he should do, in case Atlas should be
drowned in the sea.
You’d better
take an umbrella with you in case it rains.
3. 同 if
不一样, 用作连词引导条件句时, in case
这个短语通常用于陈述句,不用虚拟语气,而且意思也不一样。
例如:
In case I ask for leave, will she agree? 如果我请假,她会答应吗?
If I were to ask for leave, would he agree? 如果我请假,他会答应吗?
4. 即使主句是将来时态,由 in
case 引导的从句,仍然使用现在时态。
例如:
In case the weather is fine tomorrow, we shall hold a meeting. 如果明天天气好的话,我们将召开一次会议。
Henry will resign in case you drive him too hard. 如果你欺人太甚的话,亨利就会辞职不干。
5. 作“以防”来讲, in
case 相当于 for fear
that, 并可以通用。
例如: I
wrote it down in case/ for fear that I should forget it. 我已把它抄下了,免得忘记。
I must stay at home this morning in case/for
fear that he comes
to see me. 我今天上午必须呆在家里,恐怕他会来看我。
6. In case 这个短语,英美英语中的意思有时候并不相同。
例如: I will come in case I am wanted. 我会来的,因为也许有人要找我。(英式英语)
I will come
in case I am
wanted. 我会来的,只要有人找我。(美式英语)
