词组 therefor/therefore
释义
therefor/therefore     

【问】 therefor与therefore有何区别?
 【答】 therefor与therefore在意义上是不同的。therefor是个副词,作“为此”(for that,forthis,for it)解,用于正式语体,尤其是法律文件中:
 1. He will be paid therefor.
 他会为此得到报酬的。
 2. My client did commit crime,but his motive therefor has not been established.(Crews)
 我的当事人确实犯了罪,但是他犯罪的动机尚未确定。
 3. He promised to give a building for a hospital and the land necessary therefor.(WBD)
 他答应捐一个用作医院的建筑物以及为此所必需的土地。
 therefore在词义上相当于thus,consequently,for that reason,as a result of that:(因此,所以,结果)。(and) therefore常用于连接两个并列的分句,therefore亦可用作从属连词的关联词:because... therefore,seeing(that)...therefore:
 1. She went to a party and therefore did not study her lessons. (WBD)
 她去参加了一个聚会,因而没去上课。
 2. He was the only candidate;therefore he was elected. (WBD)
 他是唯一的候选人,因此被选上了。
 3. The novelist,therefore,has a special responsibility both to the present and the past ofhis country. (Fox)

 4. He was busy; therefore he could not come.

 5. It rained; therefore the game was called off. (MD)
 下雨了,因此比赛取消了。
 请注意:在上面的句子里,therefore之前使用的是分号。如果与and连用,就可使用逗号或者不用标点符号:
 1. He injured his leg and therefore could not play in the game. (MD)
 他的一条腿受伤了,因此他未能参加比赛。
 2. I decided not to buy the car,and therefore was not prepared to pay therefor.
 我决定不买那辆车,所以就没准备为此付款。
