| Phrase | reason |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "reason" means the mind's ability to think and understand: "Do you think it would be possible to reach that conclusion through reason alone, without solid evidence?" A "reason" is also an explanation for why something happened: "Bad weather and a workers' strike were two of the reasons for the delay in the construction project." The phrase "within reason" means within certain reasonable limits: "I'll do anything to help you, within reason." The phrase "no reason" is sometimes used to answer a "why" question when one does not want to provide information: "A: Why did you put on the pink one? B: No reason." Finally, the phrase "with good reason" means rationally, logically, or reasonably: "They canceled plans to travel during the wet season, with good reason." |
