英语连词中,because,since,as 和for均有“因为”之意,表示原因,这是它们的共性。但是四个连词也有其个性。四个连词的用法具体如下: 1. Because:引导直接原因,语气最强。常用来回答why问句。 ---Why is she late for school? 她为什么上学迟到? ---Because she gets ill. 因为她病了。 2. Since: (1)表示显然或已经为人所知的理由,侧重在主句: Since we are here now, we should try our best to finish our tasks. 既然我们到这儿了,我们应该尽全力完成任务。 (2)引导完成时态,表示“自...以来”: Great changes have taken place in this city since I moved here.自从我搬到这里以来,这座城市变化很大。 3. As: (1)与since意义相近,表示显而易见的理由或原因,但语气较since弱。 As you were out, I left a message. 你不在,所以我留了一张字条。 (2)随着: As the living standard increases, we have more opportunities to enrich our daily life. 随着生活水平的提高,我们有更多机会来丰富日常生活。 (3)正如:As we all know, English is very important. 正如我们所知,英语很重要。 |
