Matt Haig的新书 The Midnight Library 也出现了这个表达：

《经济学人》一篇关于三孩政策的文章 A third child in the world 也出现了这个表达：
这里要特意区别一个易混短语：in case of 以备;以防;以免 【If you do something or have something in case of a particular thing, you do it or have it because that thing might happen or be true.】
举个栗子：
Many shops along the route have been boarded up in case of trouble.
沿途很多商店的门窗都用木板封上了，以防不测。
其实这个短语和 (just) in case 也可以互换【If you do something in case or just in case a particular thing happens, you do it because that thing might happen.】
再举个栗子：
Extra boiling water should be kept at hand just in case it is needed.
身边应多准备一些开水，以备不时之需。
