如何理解in that引導從句的用法

如果是作為自由搭配in that，那么它的意思需視上下文而定。如：

Put the bookcase in that corner. 把書柜放在那個角落里。

You ought on no account to take part in that. 你千萬別參與那事。

It is expensive to stay in that hotel. 住那家旅館很貴。

如果用in that引導從句，則它是一個習語，意思是“因為”“由于”，與從屬連詞because意思相同。如：

She was fortunate in that she had friends to help her. 她很幸運，有一些朋友幫助她。

The situation is rather complicated in that we have two managing directors. 由于我們有兩位總經理，所以情況很復雜。

I’m in a slightly awkward position, in that he’s not arriving until the 10th. 我的處境有點難堪，因為他要10號才來。
