初中英语语法连词词专项习题[ Because, since, as, for ]because, as, for, since这几个词都是表示“原因”的连词,语气由强至弱依次为:because→since→as→for;其中because, since, as均为从属连词,引导原因状语从句;而for 是并列连词,引导并列句。
1. because表示直接原因,它所指的原因通常是听话人所不知道的,其语气最强。
常用来回答why的提问,一般放于主句之后,也可以单独存在。
例如:(1)I stayed at home because it rained. 因为下雨我呆在家里。
(2)Because Lingling was ill, she didn't come to school. 玲玲因病,没有上学。
(3)—Why is she absent? 她为什么缺席?—Because she is sick. 因为她病了。
此外,在强调句型中,只能用because。
例如:(4)It was because I missed the early bus that I was late f or school. 我上学迟到是因为我没有赶上早班汽车。
2. since侧重主句,从句表示显然的或已为人所知的理由,常译为“因为”、“既然”,语气比because稍弱,通常置于句首,表示一种含有勉强语气的原因。
例如:(1)Since he asks you, you'll tell him why. 他既然问你,那就告诉他为什么吧。
(2)Since everyone is here, let's start. 既然大家都到齐了,我们就出发吧!(3)Since I understood very little Japanese, I couldn't follow the conversation. 我日语懂得不多,因而听不懂对话。
3. as是常用词,它表示的“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,含义与since相同,但语气更弱,没有since正式,常译为“由于,鉴于”。
从句说明原因,主句说明结果,主从并重。
例如:(1)We all like her as she is kind. 我们都喜欢她,因为她善良。
(2)As I had a cold, I was absent from school. 因为我感冒了,所以没去上课。
(3)As Xiaowang was not ready, we went without him. 由于小王没有准备好,我们只好不带他去了。
4. for用作连词时,与because相似,但它所表示的原因往往提供上文未交待过的情况。
for不表示直接原因,表明附加或推断的理由,因此for被看作等立连词,它所引导的分句只能放在句子后部(或单独成为一个句子),并且前后两个分句间的逻辑关系不一定是因果关系,其间用逗号隔开,且for不可置于句首,for的这一用法常用在书面语中,较正式。
例如:(1)The days are short, for it is now December. 白天短了,因为现在已是十二月份。
(2)It must have rained, for the ground is wet. (从“地面潮湿”作出“下过雨”的推测,但地湿并不一定是下雨所致, for不可以换为because。
)(3)The ground is wet because it has rained. (“下雨”是“地上潮湿”的直接原因。
) 前后两个分句间有一定的因果关系时(有时很难区分是直接原因,还是推测性原因),for与because可以互换使用。
例如:(4)I could not go, for / because I was ill. 我没能去,是因为我病了。
(5)He felt no fear, for / because he was a brave boy. 他没有害怕,因为他是个勇敢的男孩。
Because/asbecause 引导的是必然原因,as引导一般原因。
必然原因是指某事发生必会导致另一件事实。
一般原因语气还有其因果关系不是很明显。
以下两个句子请体会The floor is wet,because it rained this morning.As the floor is wet, it might rain this morning.(地板湿也可能是其他原因,以此看,as引导原因从句还有猜测的意味。
)Because/for这两个词的意思很相近,通常是可以互换使用的。
为了安全起见,最好用because引导从句,因为同because引导的从句相比,for引导的从句(英文中称为for-clause)的用法要受到某些限制:1 for引导的从句不能位于它所解释的动词之前:Because it was wet he took a taxi.因为下雨,他叫了一辆出租车。
(这里不能用for。
)2 for引导的从句不能位于not,but或任何连词之后:He stole,not because he wanted the money but because he liked stealing.他偷东西,并不是因为他想要钱,而是他有这种毛病。
(这里不能用for。
) 3 for 引导的从句不能用于回答问题:—Why did you do it?—I did it because I was angry.—你为什么这么做?—因为我生气才这么做的。
(这里不能用for。
)4 for引导的从句不能单单用来复述已讲过的话,而必须包括新的容:He spoke in French.She was angry because he had spoken in French.他讲法语。
因为他讲法语,她生气了。
(这里不能用for。
)但是可以说:She was angry,for she didn’t know French.她生气了,因为她不懂法语。
(这里用for是正确的,也可用because。
)之所以有这些用法上的限定,其理由是for引导的从句不能直接说明某一特定动作发生的原因,而只能提供一些起帮助解释作用的附加说明。
例句如:The days were short,for it was now December.天短了,现在已是12月了。
He took the food eagerly,for he has eaten nothing since dawn.他狼吞虎咽地吃了起来,因为他从天亮就没吃过东西。
