resultfrom与resultin和leadto的用法

Question

result from与result in和lead to的用法

Answer 1

lead to 的用法比result in的要多,先来看result in
result in=to make something happen
例句：An accident resulted in the death of two passengers.
These policies resulted in many elderly and disabled people
suffering hardship.
从较大部分的例句可以看到,句中的谓语（即引起事情发生的主动方）多是静态、客观的一件事或物,同时被引起的通常是消极的事故或方面,而且多用于描述已经发生的过去的事件.再看lead to:
lead to
(该用法与lead to具有可比性）=to have something as a result
例句 Eating too much sugar can lead to health problems.
This investment program will lead to the creation of new jobs.
可以看到,句中的谓语多是一个动态的动作或计划,而宾语（即被引起的事情）无严格的消极与积极之分,而且多用于描述客观的可能性和对未来的预测.
当然,在绝大多数情况之下,这两个动词短语是可以通用的,关于lead to的其它词义在字典上都很好找,这里就不赘述了.
