because引导的原因状语从句
原因状语从句是指在复合句中表示主句动作发生原因的句子。如:
I did not go to school yesterday because I was ill.
我昨天没去上学,因为我生病了。
Because it was raining, we had to stay at home.
因为下雨,我们只好待在家里。
because意思是“因为”,表示动作发生的直接原因,语气很强,常用来回答why引导的疑问句。如:
—Why didn't he go with us today 他为什么今天没跟我们一起去?
—Because he was too tired. 因为他太累了。
汉语里我们习惯说“因为……所以……”,但使用英语时不能将because与so连用。如:
Because my bike was broken, I went to school by bus yesterday. (√)
Because my bike was broken, so I went to school by bus yesterday. (×)
since和as引导的原因状语从句
我们也可以用since和as引导原因状语从句。如:
Since you are free, you'd better tidy your bedroom.
既然你有空,你最好把卧室整理一下。
As you were not there, I left a message.
因为你不在那里,所以我留了个信儿。
注意:和because相比,since和as的语气稍弱。
since意思是“既然,由于;因为”,表示已知的、显然的理由,较正式,多位于句首。如:
Since it is late, I shall go home right now.
(由于)时间不早了,我得马上回家。
as和since的用法大体相同,表示附带说明的“双方已知的原因”。如:
As it is raining, you'd better take a taxi.
既然在下雨,你最好乘出租车。
