cause reason的区别

cause 的准确意思是“起因”，表示的是客观事实，构成固定搭配 the cause of... ，如 the cause of SARS“非典的起因”；而 reason意思就是“原因”，它可能是指客观事实，也可能是指主观解释，构成固定搭配 the reason for... ，如 the reason for my being late“我迟到的原因”。

cause与reason区别

这个问题我会，虽然本人英语口语不是很好，但是对英语四六级词汇还是很熟悉的~给大家总结了一个表格可以先粗略看一下：

【含义解释】

1、cause    英[kɔːz]    美[kɔːz]    

n.    原因; 起因; 理由; 动机; 缘故; (支持或为之奋斗的)事业，目标，思想; 诉讼案;  

vt.    使发生; 造成; 引起; 导致;  

2、reason    英[ˈriːzn]    美[ˈriːzn]    

n.    原因; 理由; 解释; 正当理由; 道理; 情理; 思考力; 理解力; 理性;  

v.    推理; 推论; 推断; 思考; 理解;  

相同点：都可以作名词，或者动词

不同点：cause是及物动词，而reason既可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。

【用法区别】

cause的用法：

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。

reason的用法：

reason用于事情可指“理由,原因,道理,情理”,用于人可指“理智,理性,思维能力,推理能力”。

reason的基本意思是根据事实作出判断或推理,强调连续的逻辑思考,以某个假设的前提、某个确定的数据或证据开始,作出推论。引申可指“争辩”。

reason既可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时,通常接that从句作宾语。

【典型例句】

cause的例句

Smoking can cause lung cancer.

吸烟可致肺癌。

She is always causing trouble for people.

她总是给人添麻烦。

Police are investigating the causes of the explosion.

警方正在调查爆炸的原因。

You have no cause for complaint.

你没有理由抱怨。

She is willing to donate money to a worthy cause.

她愿为高尚的事业捐款。

reason的例句

That is the reason why I don't like it.

那就是我不喜欢它的原因。

He is able to explain the reason because he was present at that time.

他当时在场,所以他能解释原因。

We shall in no way let reason be defeated by impulse.

我们决不能让冲动战胜理智。

Who can reason with you when you are so stubborn?

你这么执拗的时候,谁能和你理论?

Copernicus reasoned that the earth revolved around the sun.

哥白尼论证了地球绕着太阳转。

cause和reason的区别

cause用于表示具有明显因果关系的原因。reason有时能与cause换用，但上下文必须有能够查得出的或可以解释得出的因果关系。如果某“结果”是不言而喻的，也可以用reason表示“原因” Was the noise a cause of the illness,or were the complaints about noise merely a symptom? 噪音是病因呢，还是对噪音的抱怨仅仅是一种症状呢？ Every effect must have an adequate cause. 每一种结果都必须有充分的原因。 reason通常含有“理由”的意思 They are trying to find out the reason (or cause) of the terrible fire. 他们正在努力查寻那次可怕的火灾的原因。 The airport was built during the war,but for some reason it could not be used then. 这个飞机场是在大战期间建造的，但是由于某种原因当时没有能够使用。 The reason for this is that this plane is also a bicycle. 其原因是，这架飞机又是一辆自行车。 …，but I do not turn for protection to dreary cliches about respect for elders—as if mere age were a reason for respect.…… 但我不会为了维护自己而求助于尊重长辈之类的陈词滥调—似乎只要年老就是受到尊重的理由。

cause reason 的区别

cause用于表示具有明显因果关系的原因。reason有时能与cause换用，但上下文必须有能够查得出的或可以解释得出的因果关系。

如果某“结果”是不言而喻的，也可以用reason表示“原因”,如：

a

cause

of

the

illness,or

were

the

complaints

about

noise

merely

a

symptom?

噪音是病因呢，还是对噪音的抱怨仅仅是一种症状呢？

adequate

cause.

reason通常含有“理由”的意思

they

are

trying

to

find

out

the

reason

(or

cause)

of

the

terrible

fire.

他们正在努力查寻那次可怕的火灾的原因。

cause和reason 2个原因的主要区别和用法

区别一表示造成某一事实或现象的直接原因或起因，一般要用

cause

(后常接

of)，不用

reason。如：Carelessness

is

often

the

cause

of

fires.

疏忽大意往往酿成火灾。Friction

is

the

cause

of

the

match’s

lighting.

摩擦是火柴点燃的原因。区别二若是说明或解释某种行为或看法的理由，两者可通用(其后常接

for

或不定式)。如：There

is

no

cause

[reason]

for

anxiety

[tobe

anxious].

没有理由焦虑。You

have

no

reason

[cause]

for

complaint

[to

complain].

你没有理由抱怨。注：表示“理由”时，两者虽然常常互换，但也有区别：(1)

cause

是不可数名词，而

reason

可用作可数或不可数名词，因此当需要用复数或受

a,

every,

many

等修饰时，通常要用

reason

。如：I

have

many

reasons

to

fear

him.

我怕他是有很多理由的。She

had

every

reason

for

thinking

so.

她这样想是完全有理由的。(2)

reason

之后可接

why

引导的定语从句，而

cause

不能。如：The

reason

(why)

I

didn’t

tell

you

was

that

I

wanted

it

to

be

a

surprise.

我没有告诉你，是想让它给你一个惊喜。
