如何理解in that引导从句的用法

如果是作为自由搭配in that，那么它的意思需视上下文而定。如：

Put the bookcase in that corner. 把书柜放在那个角落里。

You ought on no account to take part in that. 你千万别参与那事。

It is expensive to stay in that hotel. 住那家旅馆很贵。

如果用in that引导从句，则它是一个习语，意思是“因为”“由于”，与从属连词because意思相同。如：

She was fortunate in that she had friends to help her. 她很幸运，有一些朋友帮助她。

The situation is rather complicated in that we have two managing directors. 由于我们有两位总经理，所以情况很复杂。

I’m in a slightly awkward position, in that he’s not arriving until the 10th. 我的处境有点难堪，因为他要10号才来。
