二、语法讲解。
Because, since, as【语法点拨】
1) because 语气最强,表直接原因,回答why的问题。通常放在主句之后,可单独使用。
如:Why do we learn English? We learn it because we want to have a better future.
2) because可引导表语从句等。
(1)It is because you’re eating too much.
(2)Have you ever walked into a room and felt relaxed?
It could be because the walls were painted blue.
3) because of 也可表达直接的原因,只不过其后接名词、代词或动名词。
(1) He can’t come because of his illness.
(2) He is here because of you.
4) because习惯上不与so连用
汉语习惯上说“因为…所以…”,但英语习惯上却不能将 so与because 连用:
因为我病了半年,所以把工作丢了。
误:Because I was ill for six months, so I lost my job.
正:Because I was ill for six months, I lost my job.
正:I was ill for six months, so I lost my job.
B. Giving reasons with since and as
since侧重主句,意思是“既然;由于;因为”,表示已知的、显然的理由,since 比as语气稍强,且比as略微正式,它们引导的从句通常放在主句之前,有时也放在主句之后。不表示直接原因。Since可用于省略句,而其他连词不行。(见例2)
1. Since everyone is here, let's start
2. Since so, I have nothing to say.
3. Since you are wrong, you should say sorry.
as 鉴于主从并重,从句说原因,主句说结果 。
1. As it is late. I must go
2. As you were not there, I left a message.
as和since的用法大体相同,表示附带说明的“双方已知的原因”或者理由不是很重要,但语气更弱,没有since正式,常译为“由于,鉴于”。
As it is raining, you’d better take a taxi. 既然在下雨,你最好乘出租汽车。
As you are tired, you had better have a rest. 既然累了,你最好休息一下。
