the reason that和why的区别
"the reason that"和"why"都可以用来引导原因状语从句,但"the reason that"通常用来引导一个完整的原因状语从句,"why"通常用来引导一个简单的原因状语从句;"the reason that"通常强调原因,而"why"通常强调结果。
它们的区别:
"the reason that"通常用来引导一个完整的原因状语从句,该从句通常以一个完整的句子的形式出现,并且通常包含一个主语和谓语动词。
例如:"The reason that I'm late is that there was traffic on the highway."(我迟到的原因是高速公路上有交通堵塞。)
"why"通常用来引导一个简单的原因状语从句,该从句通常只包含一个动词和一个主语或主语从句。
例如:"I'm late because of why there was traffic on the highway."(我迟到是因为高速公路上有交通堵塞。)
"the reason that"通常强调原因,而"why"通常强调结果。
例如:"The reason that he failed the exam is that he didn't study hard enough."(他考试不及格的原因是他没有好好学习。)
与:"He failed the exam, which is why he's upset."(他考试不及格,这就是他不高兴的原因。)
