“怪事”常见的英文表达有 odd thing、strange incident 或 weird occurrence,具体使用可根据语境选择:
Odd thing:侧重于描述“奇怪、不寻常的事情”,语气较为日常、随意。
例句:It's an odd thing that he left without saying goodbye.(他连声招呼都没打就走了,这事真奇怪。)
Strange incident:强调“事件”的怪异,通常用于描述比较具体、有一定情节的“怪事”。
例句:There was a strange incident in the village last night.(昨晚村里发生了一件怪事。)
Weird occurrence:语气比前两者稍强,突出事件的“离奇、超乎寻常”,带有一定的神秘感。
