Subject + 因 + cause + 而 + result (verb phrase)

比赛因下雨而推迟了。
When to use 因……而…… for “Because of …, (Something Happens)”
因……而…… puts a cause and its result into one compact clause. 因 (a short, written form of 因为) introduces the cause, which is usually a noun phrase or a short verb phrase. 而 then leads straight into the result: 比赛因下雨而推迟了 “The match was postponed because of rain.” The subject normally comes first, and there is no comma between the cause and the result, unlike 因为……，所以…….
我们不能因一次失败而放弃。
We can’t give up because of one failure.

This small town is famous for its beautiful scenery.

よくある間違い
- Don’t put a comma or 所以 inside the pattern: 比赛因下雨而推迟, not 比赛因下雨，所以推迟.
- 因 gives a cause; for a purpose (“in order to”), use 为……而…… instead.
- It is written style. In a chat, 因为下雨，比赛推迟了 sounds more natural.
