语感
source = 追溯到起点——无论是钱、信息,还是冲突,都有它的「源头」
来源出处消息来源根源采购(动词)
陷阱
⚠️source vs. cause:「从哪里来」vs. 「为什么发生」
Researchers identified poverty as the root cause of many social problems, including crime and poor health outcomes.
cause = source(都是「根源」,可以互换)
cause(原因,强调「因果关系」,因为 X 所以发生 Y);source(来源,强调「从哪里来、起点」);「贫困是社会问题的原因」是因果关系,用 cause;「贫困是压力/冲突的来源」强调「贫困是紧张关系的产生地」,用 source(a source of tension)
研究人员将贫困确定为包括犯罪和不良健康结果在内的许多社会问题的根本原因。(cause = 因果关系,比 source 更强调「为什么发生」)
⚠️source vs. origin:来源 vs. 起源
The origin of this musical tradition can be traced back to the folk songs of rural communities in the nineteenth century.
origin = source(都是「来源/起源」,可以互换)
origin(起源,追溯最初的历史起点,强调「最初是从哪里开始的」);source(来源,关注「现在从哪里得到」,更实用);音乐传统的历史起源用 origin;「信息来源/能源来源」用 source
这一音乐传统的起源可以追溯到19世纪农村社区的民间歌曲。(origin = 历史起源追溯,非 source 的「当前实用来源」)
近义辨析
source vs origin
source 来源(关注「从哪里得到/产生」,实用性强) origin 起源(关注「最初从哪里开始」,更强调历史深度)
Tourism has become the primary source of income for many communities living near national parks.
旅游业已成为许多生活在国家公园附近社区的主要收入来源
