n.(名词)

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。

v.(动词)

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。

n.(名词)

cause for, cause of

cause of强调“原因”, cause for强调“理由”。例如:

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

You have no cause for complaint.你没有理由抱怨。

v.(动词)

cause, excuse, grounds, reason

这组词都有“理由,原因”的意思。其区别在于:cause指造成一种事实或现象的比较直接的“原因,根源,起因”,它表示的原因是指导致某种结果的客观条件、情况、事件、力量等; reason强调“推理”,指对于某个情况或看法从逻辑推理上引出结论的“理由”; excuse指为了避免责任而设法辩解过错或设法使之显得轻微,指找出的“理由,原因”或“借口”; grounds指一种有根据的“理由”,有时可译作“原因”。例如:

Give your reason for changing the plan.把你改变计划的理由讲一下。

He is always late, and always has an excuse.他总是迟到,而且总有借口。

I have not much grounds for believing the information.我没有充分的依据去相信这个消息。

n.(名词)疏忽是这次火灾的起因。

误

The cause for the fire was carelessness.

正

析

cause指“起因”“原因”与of连用, cause指“理由”与for连用。
他的成功缘于勤奋。

误

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”,故应该去掉on account of或the cause of,以避免重复。
v.(动词)什么原因使她脸这样红?

误

What caused her blush like that?

正

What caused her to blush like that?

析

cause的宾语补足语中的不定式符号to不可省略。

误

正

析

cause不可接形容词作宾语补足语。
这事使我有了反应。

误

cause后接动词不定式作宾语补足语时,不可以用在被动结构里。

误

正

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