How to Understand
随后
随后 means 'then' or 'next' in English, indicating a sequence of events. It is used to show that something happens after another event, often in a narrative or chronological context.
The character 随 (suí) means 'to follow' or 'to comply,' and 后 (hòu) means 'after' or 'behind.' Together, they form a word that conveys the idea of something happening after a prior action or event.
随后 is commonly used in both spoken and written Chinese to connect events in time. It is especially useful in storytelling, instructions, and describing processes. It can also be found in formal writing, news reports, and academic texts to indicate temporal progression.
