【英语语法】原因状语从句的用法,英语培训学校编辑和大家分享原因状语从句的用法,请阅读下文。
1.引导原因状语从句的从属连词主要有because,as,since,seeing (that), now (that),not that … but that。如:
They can't have gone out because the light 's on.
他们不可能出去了,因为灯还亮着。
Since you are going,I will go.既然你去,我也去。
Now that all are present,let's start the discussion.
既然全部出席了,我们就开始讨论。
Not that I don,t like the film,but that I have no time for it.
不是我不喜欢这部电影,而是因为我没有时间去看。
Since [As] we,ve no money,we can,t buy it.
由于我们没钱,我们无法购买它。
Seeing that it's raining,we VI better stay indoors.
既然外边在下雨,我们最好待在室内。
Now that you are here,you ’d better stay.
你既然来了,最好还是留下吧(既来之,则安之)。
2.除以上提到的大家比较熟悉的引导原因状语从句的从属连词外,when有时 也可引导原因状语从句,其意既然。
如:
I can't tell you when you won't listen.
既然你不想听,我就不告诉你了。
3.because习惯上不与so连用。汉语习惯上说因为所以,但英语习惯 上却不能将so与because连用。如:
【正】 Because it was raining,we stayed at home. / It was raining,so we stayed at home.
【误】 Because it was raining,so we stayed at home.
因为下雨,所以我们待在家里。
4.because从句与because of短语的转换。because后跟句子,because of跟短语,二者可以转换。如:
He can't come because he is ill. / He can't come because of his illness.
他因病不能来。
I said nothing about it because his wife was there. / I said nothing about it because of his wife ’s being there.
因为他的妻子在那儿,我对此事只字未提。
