n.(名詞)

cause用作名詞的基本意思是“原因,起因”,指產生一種后果的起因,也可指導致某事情發生的人或事物，是可數名詞。

cause也可作“理由,緣故”解,是不可數名詞。

cause還可表示極力維護或支持的“目標”“原則”“運動”或“事業”,是可數名詞。

v.(動詞)

cause的基本意思是“導致”,指某人、某物、某條件、某事件等“給…帶來”“使發生…”某種結果。本詞說的是原因,而強調的卻是“結果”,這種因果關系是真正的、直接的、根本的。

cause是及物動詞,多接抽象名詞、代詞作簡單賓語; 也可接雙賓語,其間接賓語可轉化為介詞to的賓語; 還可接以動詞不定式充當補足語的復合賓語,這里的動詞不定式通常帶to。

n.(名詞)

cause for, cause of

cause of強調“原因”, cause for強調“理由”。例如:

Nobody knew the cause of the explosion.誰也不知道爆炸的原因。

You have no cause for complaint.你沒有理由抱怨。

v.(動詞)

cause, excuse, grounds, reason

這組詞都有“理由,原因”的意思。其區別在于:cause指造成一種事實或現象的比較直接的“原因,根源,起因”,它表示的原因是指導致某種結果的客觀條件、情況、事件、力量等; reason強調“推理”,指對于某個情況或看法從邏輯推理上引出結論的“理由”; excuse指為了避免責任而設法辯解過錯或設法使之顯得輕微,指找出的“理由,原因”或“借口”; grounds指一種有根據的“理由”,有時可譯作“原因”。例如:

Give your reason for changing the plan.把你改變計劃的理由講一下。

He is always late, and always has an excuse.他總是遲到,而且總有借口。

I have not much grounds for believing the information.我沒有充分的依據去相信這個消息。

n.(名詞)疏忽是這次火災的起因。

誤

The cause for the fire was carelessness.

正

析

cause指“起因”“原因”與of連用, cause指“理由”與for連用。
他的成功緣于勤奮。

誤

The cause of his success was on account of his hard work.

正

The cause of his success was his hard work.

正

His success was on account of his hard work.

析

the cause of和on account of都表示“原因”,故應該去掉on account of或the cause of,以避免重復。
v.(動詞)什么原因使她臉這樣紅?

誤

What caused her blush like that?

正

What caused her to blush like that?

析

cause的賓語補足語中的不定式符號to不可省略。

正

析

cause不可接形容詞作賓語補足語。
這事使我有了反應。

析

cause后接動詞不定式作賓語補足語時,不可以用在被動結構里。

誤

I was absent for a week or so, caused by illness.

正

I was absent for a week or so on account of illness.

析

cause by不能當作副詞使用。
