辨析下列引导词
辨析点一:because不能与so连用 一山不容二虎
Because it was raining, we stayed at home. (√)
It was raining, so we stayed at home. (√)
Because it was raining, so we stayed at home. (×)
因为下雨,所以我们得呆在家里。
辨析点二:because与 because of
Because引导的原因状语从句有时可与because of 介词短语转换,because of后加名词性短语,because后加句子。
He can't come because he is ill.
= He can't come because of his illness. 他因病不能来。
I said nothing about it because his wife was there.
= I said nothing about it because of his wife's being there.
因为他妻子在那儿,我对此事只字未提。
辨析点三:比较because, since,as和for的区别
1)because从句位于句首时要用逗号分开,放在句末时,可不用逗号分开。
because表示直接原因, 语气最强, 最适合回答why引导的疑问句。
We went by bus because it was cheaper.
2) since从句一般放于主句之前表示已知的、 显然的理由(翻译成“既然”= now that ), 较为正式, 语气比because弱。
Since you don't trust him, you should not employ him.
既然你不信任他,你就不应该雇佣他。
3)as 从句表示附带说明的“双方已知的原因”,含有对比说明的意味,语气比since弱, 较为正式, 位置较为灵活(常放于主句之前)。
I went to bed early, as I was exhausted.
因为太累了,所以我睡得比较早。
4) for引导的句子只提供一些辅助性的补充说明, for引导的并列句只能放于主句之后并且必须用逗号将其与主句隔开。
He could not have seen me, for I was not there.
他不可能看见我了,因为我没在那。
相比较而言:
as和for引导的主、从句,二者处于平等位置;
because引导的从句显得比主句重要,强调原因;
since引导的从句显得次要,而主句重要,以说明将要做什么事。
用because, as, since, for 填空:
We'll have to go to bed early _________ we'll start off early tomorrow.
___________ you know all about it, tell me please.
____________ all the seats were taken, I had to stand.
because
