results and situation after disaster
The time and situation after a very bad event, including its problems and effects.
用法パターン：
the aftermath of [a bad event]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes try to use 'aftermath' for small, everyday events (e.g., *the aftermath of my lunch*), which sounds unnatural; it is normally used for serious or large-scale events. Another common error is omitting 'of' or the article: it is usually used as 'the aftermath of [something]', not *aftermath of* or *an aftermath of* in most contexts.
類義語
consequences (More general; does not itself suggest a large or dramatic event the way 'aftermath' often does.)
|
fallout (Often informal and metaphorical; suggests wide or indirect negative effects, especially in political or social contexts.)
|
repercussions (Focuses on indirect or delayed negative effects, whereas 'aftermath' includes the whole post-event situation.)
対義語
build-up (Refers to the period and developments leading up to an event, the opposite temporal focus of 'aftermath'.)
|
prelude (A beginning or introduction before an event, contrasting with 'aftermath', which comes after.)
