| 1. | There must be some efficient cause for each slight individual difference, as well as for more strongly marked variations which occasionally arise .
每一微小的个体差异，以及偶然发生的较显著的变异，都有其充分原因。 |
| 2. | Ordinarily , however , the efficient cause is not the cause of the matter since it presupposes it
一般而言，动力因不是质料的原因，因为动力因以质料为先决条件。 |
| 3. | The potential qualitative changes of chinese narcotics situation and efficient causes of narcotics - control activities reform
中国毒品形势的悄然质变与禁毒行为变革动因 |
| 4. | 18 another evident corollary is that the end is the final cause of the effect and not of the efficient cause
18另外一个明显的推论即：目的是结果的终极因，但不是直接原因。 |
| 5. | Hence only what the efficient cause brings into existence for love of the end is caused by the end
因此仅仅那些由于发自对目的的仰慕而由动力因产生了的存在结果才是目的所引发的。 |
| 6. | Second conclusion ) something able to produce an effect is simply first , that is to say , it neither can be produced by an efficient cause nor does it exercise its efficient causality in virtue of anything other than itself
7 （第二个结论）某种能够产生结果的东西是单纯的第一性，也就是说，它既不能由动力因产生，也不是凭借除它本身之外的其他直接因果性的作用而产生。 |
| 7. | Now this situation obtains if , and only if , the end as loved moves the efficient cause to give existence to the effect in question , so that the efficient cause would not give existence if the end were not simultaneously contributing its measure of causality
这一情形要成立，当且仅当被仰慕的目的促使动力因产生出所涉及的结果，如果目的没有同时贡献出因果性这一手段，那动力因将不会作用。 |
