一系列 (yī xì liè) — a series of; a string of

Definition

一系列 (yī xì liè) is an adjective meaning 'a series of' — it describes a connected sequence of events, measures, or products. It's more formal and written than 一连串 (yī lián chuàn), which also means 'a succession of' but is more colloquial and often used for unexpected or rapid events. 串 (chuàn) is a classifier for things physically strung together (e.g., keys, beads), not for abstract sequences.
