happen : occur — 419 这两个动词几乎是同义,都作“发生”讲,但前者多少含有“突如其来”的义蕴(参见词目 420 ),而后者则没有这个含意。 例如: If anything happens to him, let me know. 他如发生什么事,通知我一声。 A bad accident happened to that family. 他们家发生了一件不幸的事故。 His birthday occurs on 15th October. 他的生日是 10 月 15 日。 The word “ gratitude ” did not occur in Napoleon's personal dictionary. “感激”二字在拿破伦的私人词典里是查不到的。 比较: No one thought that such a catastrophe as has occurred would happen. 谁也没有想到会发生这次这样的灾难。 (两者不能对换)
