| 释义 | thanks to The commentators who have passed judgment on this prepositional phrase agree that it is standard, which is a reasonable assessment in light of the fact that it has been in reputable use since at least the 18th century. Its use in current English is common and is subject to no restrictions with regard to formality. As the commentators (notably Bernstein 1965) point out, it can apply to negative as well as to positive and neutral causes: • He wears thick telescope-lens glasses, thanks to a painful eye operation after a car crash —Robert Windeier, Stereo Rev., October 1971 • ... never got caught in ideological quicksand, thanks largely to the maturity of its organizers —John Eger-ton, Change, May 1972 • True, thanks to the telephone, ordinary people write less than they did —Mary McCarthy, Occasional Prose, 1985 |
