单词 since(now that)
释义 since : now ( that ) -754
前者这个连词和后者这个复合连词是同义,都作“既然”讲,但不一定能通用:由前者连接的从句,与主语的因果关系较为明显(参见词目 755 ),而后者连接的从句,与主句的因果关系不甚明显。
例如:
Since you can't answer the question, perhaps we'd better ask some one else. 你既然不能回答这个问题,我们最好还是问问别人吧。
We'd better have our talk out, Jane , now that we've begun.
-Gissing. 既然我们已谈开了,詹妮,就谈下去吧。
Since we have no money, we cannot buy it. 我们既然没有带钱,那就不买吧。(因果关系较为突出)
Now ( that ) I've heard the music I understand why I like it.
我听了音乐之后,才了解我为什么喜爱它。(第一次听到音乐,所以过去并不了解。)
