attribute to意為將某事歸因于,如:delays attributed to snow因下雪而耽擱;它還有被認為是寫的的意思,如:This tune is usually attributed to Chopin.這首曲子通常被認為是肖邦所作。
be to blame意為應(yīng)受譴責的,是起因或某事的根源,如:A freak storm was to blame for the power outage.停電的起因是一場特大的暴風雨。

Now youll hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
M: One of the most common questions we ask about peoples behavior is why. Why does she say this? Why does he do that? Sometimes the reason is obvious. For example, someone is driving down the street, the light turns red, and he stops, why?
W: Because he has to, legally I mean.
M: Exactly! In this case the reason is obvious, so we usually dont question it. But when the reason is not so obvious and especially when the behavior could have negative consequences, were more likely to feel a need to explain the causes of the behavior. Social psychologists have a term for this, for the process of explaining the causes of behavior. Its called causal attribution. And one theory suggests theres a pattern in the way we go about attributing causes to peoples behavior. According to this theory, there are two categories of reasons: internal factors and external factors. Again, Lisa, say youre driving down the road and all of a sudden some guy turns into the lane right in front of you, and you have to slam on your brake to avoid an accident. How do you react?
W: Ill probably get very angry.
M: Because...
W: Well, hes not paying attention; hes a bad driver.
M: So you automatically attribute the drivers behavior to an internal factor. He himself is to blame because he is careless.
W: So if I said it was because of heavy traffic or something, Id be attributing his behavior to an external factor, something beyond his control.
M: Good. Now how will you explain your own negative behavior?
W: I should blame external factors.
M: Thats right.

M: Holly, is it possible to borrow your notes? Ill return them tomorrow.
W: Sorry, but I usually go to the cafeteria and review them. Say, how about copying them over in the library?
M: OK. I think Ive got enough coins for the machines.
W: No problem. But I dont understand why you need my notes, Carter; you havent missed any classes.
M: Weekday mornings, Im a cashier at a coffee shop downtown. After work, I come directly to school!
W: Wow, youre probably exhausted!
M: Thats exactly why I want to borrow your notes. Ive been nodding off during class, so my notes arent very good.
W: Well, heres Professor Labelle. How are you feeling?
M: Im usually awake at the beginning. But after thirty minutes into class, Im having trouble keeping my eyes open.
W: Listen, I need someone to study with, and you need someone to keep you awake; want to be study partners?
M: Yeah, Id sure appreciate it.
W: OK, lets start today at the library. Were going there anyway, and I dont have to go to the cafeteria.
M: Sounds good. Oh, no, it looks like hes brought along some more of his slides; elbow me if I start drifting off.
W: Im afraid I wont be very helpful. His slides make me sleepy too!
