一系列连锁反应

Grammar & Usage

fixed expression

neutral

How it works

This phrase is a compound noun phrase used to describe a sequence of events where each event triggers the next, often with a domino effect. '一系列' (yī xìliè) means 'a series of' or 'a string of', acting as a quantifier. '连锁反应' (liánsuǒ fǎnyìng) literally means 'chain reaction'. The whole phrase emphasizes that there isn't just one chain reaction, but a series of interconnected chain reactions or a single, extensive chain reaction.
