as ,for,since,because的区别
as ,for,since,because的区别
as ,for,since,because的区别
(1) 关于 because:语气最强,表示直接原因,可用于回答 why 提出的问题、引导表语从句、用于强调句等,而其余三者均不行:
“Why didn’t he come?” “Because he was ill.” “他为什么没来?”“因为他病了。”
My stomach hurts because I have eaten too many apples. 我肚子痛,因为苹果吃得太多。
That’s because you can’t appreciate music. 这是因为你不能欣赏音乐。
It is because he is honest that I like him. 是因为他诚实我才喜欢他。
(2) 关于 since 与 as:
a. 两者所表示的原因都是人们已知的,即对已知事实提供理由,而不是表示直接原因。since 比 as 语气稍强,且比 as 略为正式,它们引导的从句通常放在主句之前,有时也放在主句之后:
As you weren’t there, I left a message. 由于你不在那儿,我留了个口信。
Since you are wrong, you should apologize. 你既然错了,就应该道歉。
b. since 可用于省略句,而其他三者不行:
Since so, I have nothing to say. 既然如此,我无话可说。
(3) 关于 for:是并列连词(其余三者为从属连词),它有时可表示因果关系(通常要放在主句之后,且可与 because 换用);有时不表示因果关系,而是对前面分句内容的解释或推断(也要放在主句之后,但不能与because 换用)。比较:
The ground is wet, for (=because) it rained last night. 地面是湿的,因为昨晚下过雨。
It must have rained last night, for the ground is wet this morning. 昨晚一定下过雨,你看今天早上地面是湿的。 (此句不能用 because 代 for)
as,because,since,for用法区别
前三者引导原因状语从句,for引导的则为并列句.
as表示明显原因,语气较because强,例如:
As it is raining,we’ll stay (at) home.
because表示内在的、必然的因果关系,语气较强,例如:
He has to leave because it is too late.
since表示鉴于某种既定事实而为之,语气较弱,例如:
Since everyone is here,we can begin our lesson.
for只是作为补充说明,不用于某种结果之前,表示判断某种情况的因素,语气较because弱,但较为郑重、正式,不能放在句首,例如:
I’ll stay home,for I must wait for a friend.
