  其实在我们刷雅思阅读的过程中,我们会发现,除了上述的这些显而易见的因果关系词之外,还有一些虽然没有明确告诉我们因果意思,但是我们在分析的过程中的确是有因果意味的一些表达方式。

  reason that

  原因是

  1.It'stands to reason that I should accept her invitation.

  3.There is no reason that you shouldn't tell them in advance when you are going.

  你没理由不事先告诉他们你打算要走.

  lead to

  英 [li:d tu:] 美 [lid tu]

  释义把…带到; (道路)通向; 导致

  举个例子:  在剑5 Test 1 Passage 1有一题判断题是这么说的:“The growing importance of the middle classes led to an increased demand for dictionaries”

  在这句话里面我们快速就能找到因果关系词“lead to”(文中用了过去式)据此我们判断出该句话的因果关系为中产阶级的兴盛导致(lead to)了字典的兴盛。那接下来我们要做的就是定位到原位中去比对因果关系是否属实。原文中是这么说的“the rise of dictionaries is associated with the rise of the English middle class”。是不是没有看到因果关系词,但是(敲黑板)在这里要注意“A be associated with B”这个表达方法,直译为“A被和B相联系”表示被动,可以理解为A被B产生,也就是说B产生了A,B也就是A的原因。原文隐晦的表达了中产阶级的兴盛产生了字典的兴盛这一观点。该判断题为TRUE。很多同学会在这道题选择NOT GIVING,因为没有注意到“A be associated with B”这一隐晦的因果关系。

  以上就是小编为大家总结的在雅思阅读中的一些常见的因果关系词,其实这些因果关系词不仅是在阅读中常见,大家也可以灵活运用到雅思其它部分的考试中。希望以上的内容能对大家有所帮助,更多有关雅思的知识点,请持续关注环球教育!
