导语:cause与reason的区别
cause ①名词,起因、原因
【辨析】cause与reason
区别一
表示造成某一事实或现象的直接原因或起因,常用 cause of结构。如:
Carelessness is often the cause of fires. 疏忽大意往往酿成火灾。
区别二
若是说明或解释某种行为或看法的借口、理由,常用reason for,reason whythat结构。如:You have no reason for complaint. 你没有理由抱怨。
注:表示“理由”时,两者虽然常常互换,但也有区别:
(1) cause 是不可数名词,而 reason 可用作可数或不可数名词,因此当需要用复数或受 a, every, many 等修饰时,通常要用 reason 。如:
I have many reasons to fear him. 我怕他是有很多理由的。
(2) reason 之后可接 why 引导的定语从句,而 cause 不能。如:
The reason (why) I didn’t tell you was that I wanted it to be a surprise. 我没有告诉你,是想让它给你一个惊喜。
②动词,引起,导致
