 apod·o·sis /əˈpɑdəsəs/
 歸結子句

 A·pod·o·sis n.  Gram. The consequent clause or conclusion in a conditional sentence, expressing the result, and thus distinguished from the protasis or clause which expresses a condition. Thus, in the sentence, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him,” the former clause is the protasis, and the latter the apodosis.
 Note: ☞ Some grammarians extend the terms protasis and apodosis to the introductory clause and the concluding clause, even when the sentence is not conditional.
