result的用法与搭配
1. 用作动词,表示“产生结果”或“有某种结果”,是不及物动词,注意以下用:
(1) 若表示先因后果,其后接介词in,指由某种原因导致某种结果,此时通常译为“导致……(的结果)”“以……而告终”。如:
Love results in marriage, naturally. 恋爱终归于婚姻(有情人终成眷属)。
The accident resulted in the death of two passengers. 这次事故导致两名乘客丧生。
(2) 若表示先果后因,后接介词from,指某种结果是由于某种原因导致的,此时通常译为“由于”“由于……而产生(的结果)”。如:
His failure resulted from his carelessness. 他的失败是由他的粗心造成的。
His illness resulted from eating contaminated food. 他生病是由于吃了不洁净的食物。
(3) 比较以下相似表达:
Success results from hard work. 成功来自于努力工作。
Hard work results in success. 努力工作可以导致成功。
2. 用作名词,用于as a result, 意为“结果”“因此”。如:
As a result he was forced to leave home. 结果他被迫离开了家。
He had some bad fish. As a result, he felt ill. 他吃了些坏鱼,结果感到不舒服。
表示“由于……的结果”,后接介词 of。如:
He was late as a result of (=because of) the snow. 由于下雪,他迟到了。
在as a result 这一结构中,要用不定冠词,但在 as a [the] result 这一结构中,却用不定冠词或定冠词均可。如:
As a [the] result of his hard work, he got a pay rise. 由于他工作勤奋,所以他加了工资。
