原因狀語(yǔ)從句

1、原因狀語(yǔ)從句原因狀語(yǔ)從句表原因，引導(dǎo)原因狀語(yǔ)從句的從屬連詞主要的有because, as, since, for，seeing (that), now (that), considering (that)，in that等。以下逐一介紹常見的原因狀語(yǔ)從句的引導(dǎo)詞：because引導(dǎo)的原因狀語(yǔ)從句一般放于主句之后， because表示直接原因， 語(yǔ)氣最強(qiáng)， 最適合回答 why引導(dǎo)的疑問(wèn)句。例如： I do it because I like it. 我做這件事是因?yàn)槲蚁矚g。 注意： “not . because”結(jié)構(gòu)中的not否定的是because引導(dǎo)的整個(gè)從句， 例如： The country

2、 is not strong because it is large. 國(guó)強(qiáng)不在大。 since引導(dǎo)的原因狀語(yǔ)從句一般放于主句之前表示已知的、 顯然的理由(通常被翻譯成“既然”)， 較為正式， 語(yǔ)氣比because弱。例如： Since you are free today, you had better help me with my mathematics. 既然今天你休息， 你最好幫我補(bǔ)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)。 注意： seeing (that)， now (that)， considering (that)， in that這幾個(gè)詞匯與since引導(dǎo)的原因狀語(yǔ)從句意思相近， 都表示“既然”。例如： S

3、eeing (that) he refused to help us, theres no reason that we should now help him. 他既然曾經(jīng)拒絕幫助我們， 我們現(xiàn)在沒(méi)有理由要來(lái)幫助他。Now (that) you are grown up, you should not rely on your parents. 既然你長(zhǎng)大了， 就不應(yīng)該依靠你的父母了。Considering (that) everybody is here, lets begin our discussion. 既然大家都到了， 我們就開始討論吧。In that he is ill, he

4、feels unable to do it. 因?yàn)橛胁。?他覺得做不了那件事。 as 引導(dǎo)原因狀語(yǔ)從句時(shí)表示附帶說(shuō)明的“雙方已知的原因”， 語(yǔ)氣比since弱， 較為正式， 位置較為靈活(常放于主句之前)。例如： As it is raining, youd better take a taxi. 既然在下雨， 你最好乘出租汽車。As you are tired, you had better rest. 既然累了， 你最好休息一下。I went to bed early, as I was exhausted. 我睡得早， 因?yàn)槲医钇ＡΡM了。 for引導(dǎo)的原因狀語(yǔ)從句并不說(shuō)明主句行為發(fā)生的直

5、接原因， 只提供一些輔助性的補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明， for引導(dǎo)的原因狀語(yǔ)從句只能放于主句之后并且必須用逗號(hào)將其與主句隔開。例如： He could not have seen me, for I was not there. 他不可能見過(guò)我， 因?yàn)槲也辉谀抢?。比較：because, since, as和for because語(yǔ)勢(shì)最強(qiáng)，表示不知道的原因用because，即說(shuō)話人認(rèn)為聽話人不知道。因此because從句是全句最重要的部分，通常被放置于主語(yǔ)之后。 當(dāng)原因是顯而易見的或已為人們所知，就用as或 since。 I didnt go, because I was afraid. Since /As t

6、he weather is so bad, we have to delay our journey. for雖然表示不知道的原因，但因語(yǔ)氣比because弱得多，是可說(shuō)可不說(shuō)的話，只能位于主語(yǔ)之后，這時(shí)，for是并列連詞，如果不是因果關(guān)系，而是對(duì)前面主語(yǔ)內(nèi)容加以解釋或推斷時(shí)，只能用for。 He is absent today, because / for he is ill. He must be ill, for he is absent today.注1：除以上提到的大家比較熟悉的引導(dǎo)原因狀語(yǔ)從句的從屬連詞外，when有時(shí)也可引導(dǎo)原因狀語(yǔ)從句(when表示“既然”) I wont te

7、ll you when you wont listen. 既然你不想聽，我就不告訴你了。 注2：because習(xí)慣上不與so連用 漢語(yǔ)習(xí)慣上說(shuō)“因?yàn)樗浴保⒄Z(yǔ)習(xí)慣上卻不能將 so與because 連用： 因?yàn)橄掠?，所以我們呆在家里?正：Because it was raining, we stayed at home. / It was raining, so we stayed at home. 誤：Because it was raining, so we stayed at home. 注3：because 從句與 because of短語(yǔ)的轉(zhuǎn)換 Because引導(dǎo)的原因狀語(yǔ)從句有

8、時(shí)可與because of 短語(yǔ)轉(zhuǎn)換，because of后加的原因可以為好或壞 但最正規(guī)的還是becauseHe cant come because he is ill. / He cant come because of his illness. 他因病不能來(lái)。 I said nothing about it because his wife was there. / I said nothing about it because of his wifes being there. 因?yàn)樗拮釉谀莾海覍?duì)此事只字未提。 考題1 _ youve got a chance, you might

9、 as well make full use of it. A. Now that B. After C. Although D. As soon as 答案 A 解析 主句與從句之間存在因果關(guān)系， 且“youve got a chance”表示一個(gè)顯而易見的原因， 因此應(yīng)選用表原因的now that。 考題2 He found it increasingly difficult to read, _ his eyesight was beginning to fail.A. and B. for C. but D. or答案 B 解析 “his eyesight was beginning

10、to fail”是“he found it increasingly difficult to read”的原因， 因此本題應(yīng)選用可以表示原因的連詞for引導(dǎo)原因狀語(yǔ)從句。 考題3 A man cannot smile like a child, _ a child smiles with his eyes, while a man smiles with his lips alone.A. so B. but C. and D. for 答案 D 解析 下劃線處之后的句子補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明“a man cannot smile like a child”的原因， 應(yīng)選用for表原因。原因狀語(yǔ)從句練習(xí)題
