专题05 句型知识梳理二:Unit4-Unit7
Unit4: Key sentence structure
1....because it made it easier to write big numbers and to calculate.……因为它(0)使得大数字的书写和计算更加容易。
(1) because conj.因为
e.g. I was angry because he was late. 因为他迟到了,所以我生气。
【指点迷津】because, since, as, for
都是表示“原因”的连词。以上连词的语气由强至弱依次为because since as for; 其中because,since,as为从属连词,引导原因状语从句; for为并列连词,连接两个并列句。
①Because“因为",表示直接原因,回答why的提问,一般放在主句之后,可单独存在。
e.g. -Why don't you buy it? 为什么你不买它?
-Because I don't have enough money with me.因为我没有带足够的钱。
We stayed at home because it rained.下雨了,所以我们待在家里。
②since “因为,既然”,侧重主句,从句表示显然的或已知的理由。
e.g. Since everyone is here,let's begin. 既然大家都到齐了,我们开始吧。
③as“由于,鉴于”,主从句并重,从句说明原因,主句说明结果,为常用词。
e.g. As it was late,I must hurry up.由于晚了,我得快点。
④for“因为,由于”,表明附加或推断的理由,其前常有逗号,for及其后的句子不放在句首。
e.g. He must be ill,for he isn't here today.他一定是病了,因为今天他没来。
【友情提示】“因为……所以”的英汉不同习惯: because和so 与although和but用法相同,都不可连在一起使用,只能用其中一个,这一点和汉语不同,使用时一定要注意两种语言的不同习惯。
因为他病了,所以他没来上学。
[误]Because he was ill, so he didn't come to school.
[正]Because he was ill, he didn't come to school.
[正]He was ill, so he didn't come to school.
(2) make it+adj. + to do sth.使得做某事变得……
e.g. The electronic dictionary makes it quicker to look up a new word.
电子词典使我们查阅生词更迅速。
2.Abacuses are so fast and accurate that people still use them today.算盘(计算起来)是如此的快速和精确,因此人们至今还在使用它们。
so…that…“如此……以至于”,引导结果状语从句,so后接形容词或副词,that后面接从句。
e.g. The box is so heavy that I can't carry it.这个箱子如此的重以至于我抬不动它。
He runs so fast that his classmates can't catch up with him.
他跑得如此快以至于他的同学都赶不上他。
【友情提示】当that后面的从句为否定句时,可以用too…to改写为简单句,当that后面的从句为肯定甸时,可以用enough to改写为简单句。
e.g. He is so young that he can't go to school.
=He is too young to go to school.他太小了,还不能去上学。
He is so tall that he can reach the apples on the tree.
=He is tall enough to reach the apples on the tree.他很高能够得到树上的苹果。
so后面有单数名词时可用such ...that…进行改写。
e.g. He is so tall a man tha
