单词 because(for)
释义 because : for — 145
这两个连词所表达的“理由”这一概念,前者往往要比后者有力得多,就是说,前者是用来回答 why ,而后者只是加以说明而已;此外,前者是个从属连词,而后者是一个并列连词,所以由它连接的分句只能放在第一分句之后(参见词目 109 和 146 )。
例如:
I was absent yesterday because I was ill. 昨天我没有出工,因为我病了。(回答“ Why were you absent yesterday? ”的提问)
I asked him to come for a moment, for I had something totell them. 我请他来一下,有事要对他说。(仅仅是一种补充说明)
比较:
I know Mr Green didn't go with them because I saw himjust now. 我知道格林先生没有同他们一起去,因为我刚才还看见他。(用 because 来解释 I know 的原因)
Mr Green didn't go with them, for I saw him just now. 格林先生没有同他们一起去,因为我刚才还看见他。(用 for 来解释他没有去这一事实)
