我在替學生批改文章的時候,常常發現他們會把「原因是」寫成 "the reason is because"。
"The reason is" 已可以帶出「原因是」的意思,再寫 "because" 就會變成 redundant(多餘的)。
所以上文的句子,你可以寫成:
The reason was he wasn't feeling well.
或者:
It was because he wasn't feeling well.
但不要寫:
The reason was because he wasn't feeling well. (bad!)
與其說:
The reason he ran away is because he was embarrassed.
倒不如說:
He ran away because he was embarrassed.
或:
The reason he ran away is that he was embarrassed.
