cause to导致,造成,带来

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。

cause前面不一定都要加a/the。

I do not think you have cause to worry.

cause of指“……的根源”，后接的宾语不一定是行为或感觉；

cause for指“对于……的理由”，后接的宾语一定要是行为或感觉，如the cause of the accident和cause for complaint。值得注意的是，cause for不与the搭配；

cause后可接宾语和不定式。

The pghtning caused the baby to cry.
闪电把小宝宝弄哭了。

cause后不可接宾语和形容词，如it caused me happy是错误的，需在happy前加上to be。不过cause后可接双宾语。

That caused him much inconvenience.

n.(名词)疏忽是这次火灾的起因。

误 The cause for the fire was carelessness.

正 The cause of the fire was carelessness.

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 pke that?

正 What caused her to blush pke that?

析 cause的宾语补足语中的不定式符号to不可省略。

那使我快乐。

误 That caused me happy.

正 That caused me to be happy.

析 cause不可接形容词作宾语补足语。

这事使我有了反应。

误 I was caused to reflect by incident.

正 The incident caused me to reflect.

析 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。

我因病缺席了一星期左右。

误 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不能当作副词使用。
