它们在引导表语从句中很容易混淆,区别于下。如: (1) 当主语是reason(原因)时,后面的表语从句的引导词通常用that。如: The reason why he didnt attend the party yesterday is that he hasnt come back yet. 他昨天没有参加聚会是因为他还没有回来。 【注】在现代英语中,有时也用 because,但不如用 that 普通。 (2) why和 because 都可引导表语从句,但前者强调结果,后者强调的原因。如: I had neither a raincoat nor an umbrella. Thats why I got wet all through. 我既没穿雨衣,也没带雨伞,所以全身都淋湿了。 I got wet all through. Thats because I had neither a raincoat nor an umbrella. 我全身都淋湿了,因为我既没穿雨衣,也没带雨伞。 |
