三、 表達(dá)原因的結(jié)構(gòu)考生病句：1. The real reason to our failure is not far to seek. 2. The reason for this is because some people want to earn plenty of money without working hard.正確表達(dá)：1. The real reason for our failure is not far to seek. 2. The reason for this is that some people want to earn plenty of money without working hard.評(píng)議與分析：以上兩個(gè)病句分別引自92年1月和97年12月四級(jí)考試的考生作文。從遣詞造句上看，這兩位考生具有一定的寫(xiě)作能力，not far to seek， plenty of money以及without working hard等均運(yùn)用正確、恰當(dāng)。但令人遺憾的是，第一位考生不知道reason不與to搭配而應(yīng)接介詞for，第二位考生犯了一個(gè)中國(guó)學(xué)生常犯的錯(cuò)誤，就是用because引起表語(yǔ)從句，because這個(gè)詞不能引起表語(yǔ)從句，在本句中只能改用that才正確。
掌握好表達(dá)原因的結(jié)構(gòu)是十分重要的，幾乎所有的寫(xiě)作試題都要求寫(xiě)原因或可以寫(xiě)原因。在大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四、六級(jí)考試中，寫(xiě)作的文體基本上是議論文，而議論文的基本模式是擺事實(shí)、講道理，講道理就是說(shuō)明原因。寫(xiě)作測(cè)試的文體決定了表達(dá)原因結(jié)構(gòu)的重要性。
英語(yǔ)中用來(lái)表達(dá)原因這一概念的結(jié)構(gòu)有多種。我們可用as ， because， since， seeing that， considering that， now that， not that……等詞組引出表示原因的從句。例如：1. Now that we have seen these great achievements with our own eyes， we feel more proud than ever of our country. 2. Professor Liu is strict with us because he wants us to make rapid progress. 3. Since we live near the sea， we enjoy a healthy climate. 4. Pollution is still a serious problem， not that we don't have the ability to solve it， but that some people have not realized the consequences of the problem.我們還可以借助某些詞語(yǔ)用簡(jiǎn)單句表達(dá)原因結(jié)構(gòu)。例如：1. The reason for this change is quite obvious. 2. Diligence is the key factor of success. 3. Idleness is the root of all evils. 4. He was ashamed to have made the mistake.（=He was ashamed that he had made the mistake. =He was ashamed because he had made the mistake.）
除了上述的例句外，英語(yǔ)中還有很多或易或難的表達(dá)原因的結(jié)構(gòu)。我們?cè)谶M(jìn)行寫(xiě)作訓(xùn)練的時(shí)候，不能滿足于一知半解，要講究書(shū)面語(yǔ)言的正確性和準(zhǔn)確性。比如，because是最常用的引導(dǎo)原因從句的連詞，語(yǔ)氣，表示直接的原因，若because置于句首，后面的主句不能再用so.用as引導(dǎo)的原因從句語(yǔ)氣較弱，所說(shuō)明的原因是附帶的，而since表示的原因暗示著是稍加分析之后才能推斷出來(lái)的原因。
