看了Manhattan上面的关于 fact,because ,due to 的用法,很多都是说 the fact 很wordy。但是OG上面又有例子选了含有 the fact 的选项。

Manhattan上的,在这里我贴出来

Wrong: There is AGREEMENT AMONG them TO THE FACT THAT electrons exist
Suspect:The growth of plants IS EXPLAINED BY THE FACT THAT the sun shines.
(correct but wordy)
SuspectESPITE THE FACT THAT I TAKE frequent naps, I STUDY effectively.
WrongUE TO THE FACT THAT politicians SPEND money, we have a deficit.
Right: The deficit IS DUE TO overspending.(= results from)
   Our policy will not coverdamageDUE TO fire. (= resulting from)
   BECAUSEpoliticians SPEND money,we have a deficit

FACT THAT
RIGHT: It is important to recognize THAT our strategy is working.
SUSPECT: It is important to recognize THE FACT THAT our strategy is working.
THE FACT THAT  our strategy is working hard  is important to recognize.  
WRONG: we have succeeded DUE TO THE FACT THAT we work hard.

以下两道题都是OG12里面的

57. That educators have not anticipated the impact of
microcomputer technology can hardly be said that it
is their fault: Alvin Toffler, one of the most prominent
students of the future, did not even mention
microcomputers in Future Shock, published in 1970.
(A) That educators have not anticipated the impact
of microcomputer technology can hardly be said
that it is their fault
(B) That educators have not anticipated the impact
of microcomputer technology can hardly be said
to be at fault
(C) It can hardly be said that it is the fault of
educators who have not anticipated the impact
of microcomputer technology
(D) It can hardly be said that educators are at fault
for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer
technology
(E) The fact that educators are at fault for not
anticipating the impact of microcomputer
technology can hardly be said

这道题答案选D,后面答案对E中的解释说:“the fact that” is wordy ,所以不选

83. In 2000, a mere two dozen products accounted for
half the increase in spending on prescription drugs,
a phenomenon that is explained not just because of
more expensive drugs but by the fact that doctors are
writing many more prescriptions for higher-cost drugs.
(A) a phenomenon that is explained not just because
of more expensive drugs but by the fact that
doctors are writing
(B) a phenomenon that is explained not just by the
fact that drugs are becoming more expensive
but also by the fact that doctors are writing
(C) a phenomenon occurring not just because of
drugs that are becoming more expensive but
because of doctors having also written
(D) which occurred not just because drugs are
becoming more expensive but doctors are also
writing
(E) which occurred not just because of more
expensive drugs but because doctors have also
written

请问到底什么时候 the fact 很wordy 呢? 有点晕啊。。。

如果去掉the fact句子也成立的时候,the fact就是wordy的。比如lz的例子recognize the fact that完成可以写成recognize that...本身that后面的事儿就是fact了,而且recognize 后面可以直接加that从句,所以就不需要用the fact。
而最后一个例子explain by the fact总不能写成explain by that从句,因为by介词后面要加名词性的词,所以要加上the fact 句子结构才完整。
