单词 | by(on account of) |
释义 | by : on account of — 190 表达理由和原因,两者可以通用,但在用法上前者这个介词可以引导动名词短语和名词,而后者这个短语介词则只能引导名词。 例如:“ Why has he succeeded? ”—“ By being diligent and persevering. ”“他为什么会成功?”——“由于勤快和恒心。”(回答由 why 提问的疑问句,要用 by 来引导动名词短语) “ How has he succeeded? ”—“ By diligence and perseverance. ” “他是怎样成功的?”——“是靠勤快和恒心。”(回答由 how 提问的疑问句,要用 by 来引导名词) 比较: But Tom was criticized by neglecting his duty. 但汤姆因玩忽职守而挨了批评。 But Tom was criticized on account of his negligence of duty. 但汤姆因玩忽职守而挨了批评。 |
