用法辨析
- cause用作名词的基本意思是“原因,起因”,指产生一种后果的起因,也可指导致某事情发生的人或事物,是可数名词。
- cause也可作“理由,缘故”解,是不可数名词。
- cause还可表示极力维护或支持的“目标”“原则”“运动”或“事业”,是可数名词。
- cause的基本意思是“导致”,指某人、某物、某条件、某事件等“给…带来”“使发生…”某种结果。本词说的是原因,而强调的却是“结果”,这种因果关系是真正的、直接的、根本的。
- cause是及物动词,多接抽象名词、代词作简单宾语; 也可接双宾语,其间接宾语可转化为介词to的宾语; 还可接以动词不定式充当补足语的复合宾语,这里的动词不定式通常带to。
- cause前面不一定都要加a/the。I do not think you have cause to worry.
- cause of指“……的根源”,后接的宾语不一定是行为或感觉;
- cause for指“对于……的理由”,后接的宾语一定要是行为或感觉,如the cause of the accident和cause for complaint。值得注意的是,cause for不与the搭配;
- cause后可接宾语和不定式。The lightning caused the baby to cry. 闪电把小宝宝弄哭了。
