修改原因
修改前Consequently of the strike, all flights were cancelled.
修改后As a consequence of the strike, all flights were cancelled.
Consequently 来自名词 consequence,容易被当成 as a consequence of 使用,后面再接 of 和名词。但 consequently 在这里独立引出结果,不接 of。原因以名词表示时,要说 as a consequence of 或 as a result of。
不要与 subsequently 混淆,后者表示之后、随后,只说明事件顺序:She graduated in 2019 and subsequently moved to Berlin。Consequently 则连接原因和结果:The factory closed; consequently, hundreds of people lost their jobs。
动手练习

Consequently — 车票涨价,因此学生改坐公交。这是结果关系,所以选 Consequently。Nevertheless 表示尽管如此,通常引出与预期相反的结果,而这里的变化符合前面的原因。
