※ 引述《getanswers (getanswers)》之銘言： : 大家好 : 關於這段節錄 : If Tsai wins and there is a peaceful transition of government, that would : demonstrate the vibrancy of democracy in Taiwan and be a beacon of hope for : people in neighboring countries, particularly China. : However, in such an eventuality, Beijing’s leaders...後面省略 : 請大問大家 : 我想將此處的in such an eventuality改寫成in this possibility eventuality = a contingent event e.g. Raining is an eventuality that one has to plan for while preparing a picnic. it indicates some (rather adverse) event that may happen. usually it is translated as '萬一' in Chinese. your rewrite of the sentence basically removes the 'contingent' part of the meaning. : 請問這樣的改法有沒有扭曲原意? : 先謝謝板友回答 : 資料來源 : Taipei Times -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 119.246.189.9

in case Tsai wins 等，都可以代換，意思都只是「如果」，

其發生機率也不一定低到百分之一，甚至「萬一」（萬分之一)

，所以慣用「萬一」翻譯 eventuality 並不妥。
