Cause 原因 & Effect 影响（1）
You can describe something as cause for concern or cause for alarm – meaning a reason for concern or alarm. For example, “The growing number of teenagers dropping out of school is cause for concern.” The word “alarm” is a little stronger and more urgent: “The rapid spread of the virus is cause for alarm.” One of the only positive collocations with “cause” is cause for celebration: “The opening of the new school was cause for celebrationin the community.”
你可以把某事描述为担忧的原因或拉响警报的原因。举个例子，“越来越多的青少年辍学是值得令人担忧的事。“警报”这个词更强烈、更紧急：“病毒的迅速传播需要拉响警报。与“cause”的仅有的几个正面搭配之一是值得庆祝的：“这所新学校的开学是社区庆祝的理由。”
When analyzing a problem, you can identify the main/primary cause of the issue – but keep in mind that there may be hidden/underlying causes as well. The deepest or most fundamental cause is sometimes called the root cause.
当你在分析问题时，您可以找到问题的主要的原因——但请记住，可能还有隐藏的原因。最深的或最根本的原因有时被称为根本原因。
Interestingly, we do not use the verb “cause” together with “effect.” Instead, we say that something has an effect – for example, “Television has a strong effect on public opinion.” Another way to say “a strong effect” is the expression a significant impact or a profound impact.
有趣的是，我们不把“cause”和“effect”连用。相反，我们说某事有影响——例如，“电视对公众舆论有很强的影响。”另一种表达“强烈影响”的方式是重大的影响或深远的影响。
