responsible
1.The cold weather is responsible for his absence（他因为天冷而缺席）和Her illness is responsible for her long silence（她因为有病而好久不写信）等句子里的is responsible的主语并不是人，这种用法主要流行在美国。
2.the person responsible是“负责人”。例如：I want to see the person responsible. 和Who's the person responsible?
比较下面两句：
- He is the responsible person I spoke of just now. （他就是我刚才说起的那个可靠的人。）
- He is the person responsible I spoke of just now. （他就是我刚才说起的那个负责人。）
3.responsible后面有时接以that引导的从句。例如：The writer of a letter is responsible that it will be understood by its recipient.
