accident, incident, event

这组名词的共同意思是“事件”,其区别是：

1.accident是偶然发生的; incident是附属于偶发事件的; 而event则不一定是偶然的。

2.accident在没有happy, lucky这类词修饰时,多指不幸事件; 而incident和event则不一定是不幸的。

3.incident指日常小事或不太重要的事件; 而accident则多指涉及人命的大事,但不用于政治事件。试比较下面两句:

Being late for school is an incident, not an accident.

上学迟到是小事情,不是大事故。

Being hit by a car is an accident, not an incident.被汽车撞了是大事故,不是 小事情。

如果把accident和incident连用,这种差异就更明显了。例如:

Accidents are becoming incidents on this railway.这条铁路上事故已成家常便饭。

须注意的是incident有时也指大事,但多指在政治上、军事上、外交上可能导致争端或战争的事件。例如:

It was a frontier incident.这是一次边境事件。

4.event也可指日常小事,但主要指重要的事件(国家的、社会的、边界的等)。例如:This is one of the chief events of this year.这是本年度大事之一。

accident，incident，event，occurrence，happening

这些名词均有“事故、事件”之意。

accident强调偶然或意外发生的不幸事情。

incident既可指小事件或附带事件，又可指政治上具有影响的事件或事变。

event可指任何大小事件，但尤指历史上的重大事件。

occurrence多指日常生活中发生的一般事件，有时也指偶然发生的事。

happening与occurrence相似，多指日常生活中发生的一般事件，有时也指偶然发生的事。
