Keywords

[结果](https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/%E7%BB%93%E6%9E%9C)

结果 (jiéguǒ) can be used as a conjunction or adverb, meaning "as a result" or "consequently." It normally starts the second half of a sentence and can also introduce an unexpected or undesirable result.

Indicating a Logical Result --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ### Structure

Reason / Condition ，结果 + Result / Ending

### Examples

- 她穿得很少，*结果* 感冒了。Tā chuān de hěn shǎo, *jiéguǒ* gǎnmào le.She didn't wear enough, as a result, she caught a cold. - 我太紧张了，*结果* 说错了很多。Wǒ tài jǐnzhāng le, *jiéguǒ* shuō cuò le hěn duō.I was too nervous. As a result, I said a lot of things wrong. - 他开得太快了，*结果* 撞到了一个人。Tā kāi de tài kuài le, *jiéguǒ* zhuàngdào le yī gè rén.He drove too fast. As a result, he hit someone. - 他没好好复习，*结果* 考试没考好。Tā méi hǎohǎo fùxí, *jiéguǒ* kǎoshì méi kǎo hǎo.He didn't review well. As a result, he didn't do well in the exam. - 他总是迟到，*结果* 老板炒了他的鱿鱼。Tā zǒngshì chídào, *jiéguǒ* lǎobǎn chǎo le tā de yóuyú.He's always late for work. As a result, his boss fired him.

Indicating an Unexpected Result ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sometimes there is no cause-effect relationship between what comes before and after 结果 (no logical connection). In these sentences, the second half of the sentence usually emphasizes that what actually happened was unexpected or undesired. ### Structure

Situation ，结果 + \[Unexpected Result\]

### Examples

- 我去机场接他，*结果* 没接到他。Wǒ qù jīchǎng jiē tā, *jiéguǒ* méi jiēdào tā.I went to the airport to pick him up. I didn't find him there. - 我跟朋友打赌，*结果* 我输了。Wǒ gēn péngyou dǎdǔ, *jiéguǒ* wǒ shū le.I took a bet with my friends. I lost in the end. - 我昨天跟朋友去喝酒，*结果* 喝醉了。Wǒ zuótiān gēn péngyou qù hējiǔ, *jiéguǒ* hēzuì le.I went to have a drink with my friends yesterday.

None of them were useful in the end. - 我点的是牛肉汉堡，*结果* 服务员给了我一个鸡肉的。Wǒ diǎn de shì niúròu hànbǎo, *jiéguǒ* fúwùyuán gěi le wǒ yī gè jīròu de.I ordered a burger. The waiter gave me a chicken sandwich instead.
