because; since; as; for; now that 都是表示“原因”的连词， 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表示直接的原因或理由，表示原因的语气最强。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： She didnt go to work today because she is ill. 她今天没有去上班，因为她病了。 此外，在强调句型中，只能用because。例如： It was because I missed the early bus that I was late for 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： Since everyone is here, lets start. 既然大家都到齐了，我们就出发吧！ 3. as往往表示十分明显的原因，听着或读者已经知道或能看出来，语气较弱，比较口语化。as引起的句子一般放在句首。意为“由于” We all like her as she is kind. 我们都喜欢她，因为她善良。 4. for用作连词时，不表示直接原因，表明附加或推断的理由，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。试比较下面两个例句： (1)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。) (2)The ground is wet because it has rained. (下雨是地上潮湿的直接原因。) 5. now that同since相似，语气较弱，强调人们已知的事实，译为“既然”。 Now that you are busy, let me do it for you. 既然你忙，就让我给你做吧。 高考链接： He found it increasingly difficult to read, __ his eyesight was beginning to fail.(08山东) though B. for C. but D. so 2. __ all of them are strong candidates, only one will be chosen for the post.(11陕西) A.
