“How come”的用法与结构分析
1. “How come”的基本介绍
在日常英语交流中,“How come…”常常被用来询问某件事情发生的原因。它和“why”有所不同,“How come”是一种更为口语化的表达方式。例如,很难想象在法庭上,检察官会问被告“ How come you rang Jane Price on four separate occasions, Mr. Fox?” 。
对于标准英语的使用者来说,“How come”后面接包含显性主语的限定性句子是可以接受的,就像以下流行歌曲歌词中的例子:
- “How come you never go there?” (Feist)
- “How come you are always off your head, and yet you still end up in your bed?” (Courteeners)
- “How come you’re not here?” (Pink)
- “So how come no - one loves me?” (Beatles)

- “How come that an infinite universe will collapse under gravity?” (physics.stackexchange.com)
- “How come that hi - tech companies still shun digital marketing?” (vickie1.wordpress.com)
