{{other uses|Domino Effect (disambiguation)}}

A domino effect or chain reaction is the cumulative effect produced when one event sets off a chain of similar events. The term is best known as a mechanical effect and is used as an analogy to a falling row of dominoes. It typically refers to a linked sequence of events where the time between successive events is relatively small. It can be used literally (an observed series of actual collisions) or metaphorically (causal linkages within systems such as global finance or politics). The term domino effect is used both to imply that an event is inevitable or highly likely (as it has already started to happen), and conversely to imply that an event is impossible or highly unlikely (the one domino left standing).

多米诺效应或连锁反应是一个事件引发一连串类似事件时所产生的累积效应。这个术语最广为人知的就是力学效应，它可以类比于一排正在倒下的多米诺骨牌。它通常指连续事件之间的时间间隔相对较小的一系列事件。它可以字面上使用(观察到的一系列实际碰撞) ，也可以隐喻性地使用(例如全球金融或政治系统中的因果联系)。术语“多米诺效应”既用来暗示某一事件是不可避免的或极有可能发生的(因为它已经开始发生了) ，也用来反过来暗示某一事件是不可能发生的或极不可能发生的(多米诺效应仍然存在)。
