一、用法释义不同
1、that is why 这就是为什么;因此
例句:
And that is why in this field,I have made recommendations.
为此,我在这方面提出了一系列建议。
2、that is because那是因为;那是…的原因;这是因为
例句:
That is because culturally, such a fine distinction eludes most teenagers.
这是因为从文化角度来看,大多数青少年无法理解这样的细微差别。
二、词语搭配不一样,why后面是接导致的结果,because后接事情产生的原因。
1、that is why后面跟的是结果。
例如:
Tom overslept this morning.That is why he was late for work.
汤姆今天早晨睡过头了.那是他上班迟到的原因。
2、that is because后面跟的是原因。
例如:
He did not read Harry Potter last night. That is because he had to help his motherto do the housework.
昨天晚上他没有读《哈里波特》,那是因为他得帮助他妈妈做家务。
扩展资料:
That is why是常用句型,其中why引导的名词性从句在句中作表语, 该句型通常用于针对前面已经说明过的原因进行总结, 如:
1、That is why you see this old woman before you know, Jeanne.
珍妮, 这就是现在这个老太婆出现在你面前的原因。
2、 That is why I came.
这就是我来的原因。
下面是两个与“That is why...”形式相似的结构, 它们与“That is why...”结构之间的关系要能够辨析清楚:
That is because句型中从属连词because引导的名词性从句在此作表语, 如:
He had seen the film before. That is why he did not see it last night.
他以前曾看过那部电影, 因此他昨天晚上没有去看。(第一句话说明原因, 第二句话说明结果)
