8、s own hand.将军自杀了。 She took your umbrella by mistake.她错拿了你的雨伞。 at表示某种情绪或动作的起因,多与“喜,怒,哀,乐”等义的词连用,常译作“听到”,“看到”。例如: The whole nation was in deep sorrow at the news.听到这个消息,全国人民极为悲痛。 He jumped at the news.听到这个消息,他蹦了起来。 on表示能作为依据或条件的原因,常译为“依照”。例如: He has given up smoking on medical advice.他遵照医生的劝告已经把烟戒了。 o
9、f和from表原因时常与die或类似意义的词连用。die of指因疾病、饥饿、寒冷,或害怕、羞愧等内因或外因造成的死亡结果;die from表示因伤、事故等外因或不明原因造成的死亡。与疾病名词连用时,二者均可。from还可表示懒惰等造成某种后果的原因。例如: His son having been killed in the war,the man died of a broken heart.儿子死于战争后,老人也因伤心过度而亡。 In big cities during cold winter months,many old people die from the polluted air
