Instead of figuring out what exactly happened, I became one of
those who treated her unfairly because I was so afraid that I
would be next victim for being friendly to her.
请问第三行用
I would be next victim
或是
I would be the next victim
哪个正确呢？
谢谢!

我猜你是要问 “a next victim” 和 “the next victim”的差别（何者正确）？以这句来说的话，有特定的the比较不奇怪There won’t be a next victim. 这时用非特定。其实就是要搞清楚特定和非特定到底是在表现什么。
