(pl. -os) 1 an outline of the plot of a play, film, opera, etc., with details of the scenes, situations, etc. (戏剧、电影、歌剧等的)剧本提纲 2 a postulated sequence of imagined (usu. future) events (通常指对未来可能发生的事件所推断的)情况；场景 in a different scenario, suppose the pressure had built up and eroded the seal 在不同的情况下，假如压力增大并蚀损了密封装置 □ scenarist n. (in sense 1 用于释义 1)[Italian from Latin scena: see SCENE]■ Usage 用法说明 The use of scenario in sense 2 is valid when a detailed sequence of events that might come about under certain conditions is denoted. It should not be used in standard English as a loose synonym for ‘situation’ or ‘scene’, as in it was an unpleasant scenario. 一个未来事件在一定条件下可能发生，如果指的是该事件的详细过程，那么 scenario 释义 2 的使用是正确的。在标准英语中， scenario 不应作为 situation 或 scene 的同义词，如 it was an un ploeasant scenario (那是个令人不悦的情况)。 |
