a)that two upstate New York counties owed restitution to three tribes of Onedida Indians for the unlawful seizure of
b)that two upstate New York counties owed restitution to three tribes of Oneida Indians because of their unlawful seizure of
c)two upstate NewYork counties to owe restitution to three tribes of Oneida Indians for their unlawful seizure of
d)on two upstate New York counties that owed restitution to three triubes of Oneida Indians because they unlawfully seized
e)on the restituition that two upstate New York counties owed to three tribes of Oneida Indians for the unlawful seizure of
答案这样说:The idiomatic expression owed restitution to x for y is correctly used. Owed restitution to x because of y is not the correct idiom.请问for和because of的使用有什么差别呢? 作者: shally莎莎 时间: 2013-8-20 20:25

1. 一个是固定搭配的原因,楼主记死就好了, owe sth to sb. for some reason
2。另外还有一个知识点, because和because of 这两个词表示的都是直接的因果关系。什么叫直接的因果关系,就是当你把两者放在逻辑链上是可以推论的。比如:
the profit increased because the cost decreased.
成本下降---->利润上升 这两者是符合因果关系的
但像for、as这一类是表原因的,而不是表因果关系的。比如你可以说:
I am late as I got out 5 minutes later than usual.
你迟到是因为比平时出门晚了十分钟。
但是当你把这两个事件放上逻辑链: 晚出门5分钟--->迟到 任何人晚出门五分钟都会迟到吗?不会。 也许你9点上班,从家到公司要10分钟,但是平时8点半出门,这样你即使比平时晚出门5分钟时间也是绰绰有余的啊,那一定是其他什么原因导致你迟到,比如堵车,遇到交通事故之类的。 所以你并不能从比平时晚5分钟推出就一定迟到的因果,这两件事不成因果。
凡是看到because/because of 的时候都想想这两者是不是为 因果关系! 如果不是的话,就不能用because/because of. 这道题也是,虽然不知道owe ..to ..for的idiom,也可以用这一条判断
