语 法 讲 解
A 原因状语从句
在句中表示原因、理由的从句叫原因状语从句。
1 引导原因状语从句的从属连词主要有because, since, as。
2 表示语气的强弱顺序是:because﹥ since﹥ as。
3 这些连词都不能和so连用。
4 当原因状语从句放于句首时,通常要用逗号与主句隔开。
引导词because
1 because强调明确直接的因果关系,回答“why”问题。如:
She didn’t come to school because she was ill.
她没来上学是因为病了。
— Why was he angry 他为什么生气?
— Because I was late. 因为我迟到了。
2 because从句可与for互换,但for是并列连词,连接的是并列句,并且在for前必须有逗号隔开。如:
We must start early because it will take us 3 hours to drive there.
我们要早点出发,因为开车去那儿要3个小时。
= We must start early, for it will take us 3 hours to drive there.
引导词since
1 since表示明摆着的理由或原因,常译为“既然”。如:
Since you have finished your homework, you can take a rest.
既然你已完成了作业,那就休息一下吧。
2 since还可引导时间状语从句,表示“自从……以来”。如:
We’ve known each other since we were children.
我们从孩提时代起就相识了。
引导词as
1 as语气最弱,表示附带说明的原因。如:
As you’re busy, you needn’t go to see him today.
你很忙,就没必要今天去看他了。
2 as还可引导时间状语从句,表示“当……的时候”、“随着……”。如:
He dropped the glass as he stood up. 他站起来时,把杯子摔了。
We get wiser as we get old.
随着年龄的增长,我们也变得聪明些了。

because和because of的意思都是“因为;由于”。 但because 是连词,其后接句子。because of 是复合介词,其后接名词、代词、动名词、what 从句等。如:
She doesn’t go to school because she is ill.
= She doesn’t go to school because of her illness.
她没来上学因为她生病了。
