While-learning
We use “since/as” to give a known reason.(已知原因)
The reason is known to both or to all.
众所周知或双方已知
since表示显然的或已为人所知的理由,自然的结果,常译为“因为”、“既然”,语气比because稍弱,通常置于句首。侧重主句
as表示的“原因”是双方已知的事实或显而易见的原因,或者理由不是很重要,只是对主句的附带说明,含义与since相同,但语气更弱,没有since正式,常译为“由于,鉴于”。主从并重,从句说原因,主句说结果
for 由于,表明附加理由(解释或推断),为并列句,for分句不放于句首,且必须用逗号与前面的分句隔开。语气最弱。
1.He must be ill, for he is absent today。
2.It must have rained last night, for the ground is wet.
