(时间:60分钟,满分:80分)
原因状语从句
原因状语从句通常由because, since, as引导。
一、 because
1. because引导的从句表示直接原因,语气最强。because引导的原因状语从句常位于主句之后,但也可放在主句之前,并用逗号隔开。
I am tired because I didn’t sleep well last night.
Because I didn’t finish my homework, I was punished.
2.回答由why提出的问题,只能用because而不能用since,as。
—Why is Serina crying? —Because her father had an accident.
3.because不能与并列连词so同时在句中使用。
She was late for school because she missed the bus.
= She missed the bus, so she was late for school.
4. because和because of 有明显的区别。because后面要跟从句,而because of 后跟名词、代词或动名词等。
He is late for school because it rains heavily.
= He is late for school because of the heavy rain.
二、 since / as
1.since引导原因状语从句时,表示显然的或已为人所知的理由,常译为“因为”“既然”,语气比because稍弱,多置于句首,较正式。
Since time is up, let’s have a break.
2.as表示附带说明的“双方已知的原因”,含义与since相同,但语气更弱,没有since正式。
As no classmates were there, I got back soon.
【特别提醒】
since conj./prep意为“自从...起”,引导时间状语时,主句用现完;
as的其他意思:conj. 当......时,随着;因为;正如; prep. 作为。
三、for
for作为并列连词,也有“因为”之意,它用于引导原因状语从句时不位于句首,引导
分句并不说明前句行为发生的直接原因,只是对前面的内容加以说明、解释或推断。
There must be no one in the house for the door is closed.(推断)
