2022年大学英语四级高级语法讲解:原因状语从句
连接词:because, since, as, for ,now that, in that, owing to, due to, thanks to, because of , as a result of;
比较:because, since, as和for
1) because语势最强,用来说明人所不知的原因,回答why提出的问题。当原因是显而易见的或已为人们所知,就用as或 since。
I didn't go, because I was afraid.
Since /As the weather is so bad, we have to delay our journey.
2) 由because引导的从句如果放在句末,且前面有逗 号,则可以用for来代替。但如果不是说明直接原因,而是多种情况加以推断,就只能用for。
He is absent today, because / for he is ill.
He must be ill, for he is absent today.
now that :既然;
in that :因为,通常只能放在句中,强调重要的,唯一的的原因;
eg:Now that this semester is finished, I am going to rest a few days and take a trip.
Human beings are different from animals in that human can speak and think.
owing to, due to, thanks to, because of , as a result of等短语后面只能接词或短语,不能接从句
