单词 | as(because, for, since) |
释义 | as : because / for / since — 109 1a. 表达理由或原因,这四个连词几乎可以通用,但也有一定的区别: as 和 since 比较强调后果,而两者相比, since 又比 as 更强调理由一些; because 和 for 则比较着重原因,而两者相比, because 又比 for 更强调一些。(注: because 是个从属连词,而 for 是个并列连词。参见词目 145 和 146 ) 比较: As that was not my name ,( of course ,) I didn't answer. 叫的不是我的名字,我就没有回答。(认为这是理所当然的) Since that was not my name, I didn't answer. 既然叫的不是我的名字,我没有回答。(似乎经过一番思考) Because that was not my name, I didn't answer. 因为叫的不是我的名字,我没有回答。(似乎含有“ Why should I ”的反诘口气) I didn't answer for that was not my name. 由于叫的不是我的名字,我没有回答。(似乎是在说明原因) 1b. 表达原因,由 as 连接的从句往往要放在主句之前; 表达后果,则要放在主句之后。 比较: As we want to build new world, we must destroy the old. 要建设新世界,就得砸烂旧世界。(表达原因) We must destroy the old world, as we want to build the new. 砸烂了旧世界,才好建设新世界。(表达后果) |
