Their habitats were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built. (教材P16)
The government, however, does not intend to stop the protection programs, since the threats to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared. (教材P16)
【辨析】
四个词都可以表示“因为”,但是语气和用法有一定区别。其语气由强至弱依次为:because → since → as → for; 其中because, since, as均为从属连词,引导原因状语从句;而for 是并列连词,引导并列句。
because,通常指听者所不知道的直接原因,语气最强。一般用来回答why引出的问句,常位于主句之后,在强调句型中,如果强调的是原因状语从句,只能用because引导这个状语从句。
since,一般表示明显的或已为人所知的理由,侧重主句的意思,常译为“因为”、“既然”,相当于now that, 语气比because稍弱,通常置于句首,偶尔也可以放句尾,有时表示一种含有勉强语气的原因。
as 一般表示双方都知道的事实或显而易见的原因,或者理由不够重要,与since相同,但语气更弱,没有since正式,常译为“由于,鉴于”。往往是,从句说明原因,主句说明结果,主从句并重。
for是并列连词,一般不表示直接原因,常表示补充说明的理由,它所引导的分句只能放在另外一个分句后面,且前后两个分句在逻辑意义上不一定是因果关系,与前一个分句之间必修用逗号隔开,这一用法常见于较正式的书面语中。
