课程摘要
先后 means “successively” or “in order.” It highlights that several things happened at different times, one after another.
先后 often appears with multiple places, actions, people, or events. It focuses on chronological sequence, not collective reaction. Compared with 陆续, 先后 often summarizes a series of completed actions or experiences. Compared with 纷纷, it has no lively group-response meaning.
