A '''domino effect''' or '''[[chain reaction]]''' is the cumulative effect produced when one event sets off a chain of similar events.<ref>{{cite web|title=domino effect|url=http://www.thefreedictionary.com/domino+effect|website=The Free Dictionary|publisher=Farlex, Inc.|accessdate=29 September 2014}}</ref> The term is best known as a mechanical effect and is used as an analogy to a [[Domino show|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).

<font color="#ff8000"> 多米诺效应Domino effect</font>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或极有可能发生的(因为它已经开始发生了) ，也可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(第一个多米诺骨牌还站立着 )。

The domino effect can easily be visualized by placing a row of [[dominoes]] upright, each separated by a small distance. Upon pushing the first domino, the next domino in line will be knocked over, and so on, thus firing a linear chain in which each domino's fall is triggered by the domino immediately preceding it. The effect is the same regardless of the length of the chain. The energy used in this chain reaction is the [[potential energy]] of the dominoes due to them being in a [[metastable]] state; when the first domino is toppled, the energy transferred by the fall is greater than the energy needed to knock over the following domino, and so on.

将一排多米诺骨牌竖立起来，每一排骨牌之间相隔一小段距离，就可以很容易地看到多米诺骨牌效应。在推倒第一张多米诺骨牌时，下一张多米诺骨牌就会被推倒，如此循环往复，这样就形成了一个线性链，每一张多米诺骨牌的倒下都是由之前的多米诺骨牌触发的。不管链的长度如何，效果都是一样的。这种连锁反应所使用的能量是多米诺骨牌处于亚稳态时的势能; 当第一个多米诺骨牌被推倒时，下落所转移的能量大于推倒下一个多米诺骨牌所需要的能量，以此类推。
