therefor和therefore的区别

Question

如题所述

Answer 1

therefor与therefore在意义上是不同的。therefor是个副词,作“为此”(for that, for this, 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 of his country.(Fox)　因此,小说家对国家的现在和过去都负有特殊的责任。
　　　　4.He was busy; therefore he could not come.　他很忙,所以不能来。
　　　　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。
