解释的超级清楚,谢楼主!
补充下Ron对于Because和In that的区分
X is Z because Y --> this must actually mean that there is a literal cause-and-effect relationship. in other words,
this sentence claims that "Y" is actually the reason why "X" is "Z".
X is Z in that Y --> this is a qualifier; it implies that "Y" is the only certain way in which X is Z. two examples:
My brother and I are like each other in that we both have quirky senses of humor --> CORRECT
This sentence means that my brother and i share the same quirky sense of humor, but that we may (or may not) differ in any other aspect of our personalities.
My brother and I are like each other because we both have quirky senses of humor --> UNREASONABLE MEANING
This sentence implies that our similar senses of humor have CAUSED our personalities to become alike. that's nonsense.
