How to Understand
相继
相继 means 'in succession' or 'one after another.' It describes a sequence of events or actions happening continuously without interruption, often implying a natural or expected order.
The character 相 (xiāng) means 'mutually' or 'each other,' while 继 (jì) means 'to continue' or 'to follow.' Together, they convey the idea of something continuing in a sequence, with each part following the previous one naturally.
继 is commonly used in expressions like 继续 (jìxù, to continue) and 继承 (jìchéng, to inherit). 相继 is often used in news, historical narratives, and daily conversations to describe a series of related events occurring in quick succession, such as elections, natural disasters, or developments.
