1) This would be reasonable if it were not for the fact that scientists can easily arrange to cite themselves in their future publications, or get associates to do for them in return for similar favors.
2) Some might see the proposal as booby prize for the fact that Britain is no longer able to apply for the much more prestigious title of European capital of culture, a sought-after award bagged by Glasgow in 1990 and Liverpool in 2008.
老师您好,我的疑问是for是并列连词的话,第二句话for后面是成分不完整的。所以是不是得把for the fact that看作一个整体来引导原因状语从句。
那么第一句话也是把for the fact that 看作整体吗?第一句话我认为是for是介词,the fact是其宾语,后面引导的是fact同位语从句。
1. 第一句是虚拟语气用法的一个常见句型,即if it were not for... 有些词典已经把它列为习语idiom, 如韦氏词典,https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/if%20it%20were%20not%20for 也可以写成Were it not for... for为介词,表示原因。the fact 为for的宾语,后面的that引导同位语从句。
2.第二句,for也是介词,不是连词,表示原因,the fact 为宾语,后接同位语从句。
