用法二 、起连词作用,用于引导条件状语从句和目的状语从句

In case theyre late, we can always sit in the bar. 要是他们来晚了,我们总可以在酒吧里坐一坐。

I bought the car at once in case he changed [should change] his mind. 我马上买下那辆汽车,以免他变卦。
② 引导目的状语从句,意为以防免得。如:
Be quiet in case you wake the baby. 轻点儿,别吵醒婴儿。
Write the telephone number down in case you forget. 把电话号码写下来以免忘了。
