English - the usage of "for" in a sentence

2007-12-09 7:52 pm
Sentence:

As fas as I know, there's no reason (for) James to be so unhappy.

(for) 在這句中的用法是什麼意思, 我點混凝淆, 是否是"因為"的意思?

Please help!

其實for的用途非常多,若你打開牛津第六版翻查一下,你會發現竟然有20個用途。就你的句子而言,for可用作:used to say how difficult, necessary, pleasant, etc. something is that someone might do or has done(對(某人)來說(困難、必需、愉快等)(牛津字典第六版第十九條),如:There's no need for you to go.(你不必走)
你的句子,for也是這樣用途,全句可譯作:
就我所知(As far as I know),對占士來說,是沒理由這樣快樂。(這樣譯當然有點累贅,可以譯:就我所知,占士沒理由這麼快樂)
希望幫到你知識朋友!

對不起,一時看錯unhappy為happy:所以你的翻譯對了,但這是廣東話,若用中文就是:就我所知,占士沒理由這樣不快樂。

不是"因為"的意思~

你明白下面句子里for的意思嗎?
1)It is good for you to learn English.
這句的for 有(因為)的意思嗎?---沒有
2)he is punished for being naughty.
這句的for 有(因為)的意思嗎?---有

there is no reason (for) James to be so unhappy你認為是跟(1)還是(2)相類似呢?
當然是(1)了~

其實for沒有甚麼意思的,它只是帶出它後面的東西,例如原因,人物等等

以上是我自己的理解,希望可以幫到你吧~加油!
