原因狀語從句because,since,as,for,這幾個詞都是表示“原因”的連詞，語氣由強至弱依次為：because＞since＞as＞for

其中because,since,as均為從屬連詞，引導原因狀語從句；而for是并列連詞，引導并列句。

1.because表示直接原因，其語氣最強。常用來回答why的提問Istayedathomebecauseitrained.—Whyissheabsent?

—Becausesheissick.

在強調句型中，只能用becauseItwasbecauseImissedtheearlybusthatIwaslateforschool.要點：不要把連接詞because與介詞短語becauseof(+名詞或-ing形式)相混淆；Helayinbedbecausehehadcaughtabadcold.

Helayinbedbecauseofabadcold.since表示顯然的或已為人所知的理由，

常譯為“因為”、“既然”，通常置于句首，表示一種含有勉強語氣的原因。Sinceheasksyou,you'lltellhimwhy.

Sinceeveryoneishere,let'sstart.as含義與since相同，但語氣更弱，沒有since正式Wealllikeherassheiskind.

AsIhadacold,Iwasabsentfromschool.

for表明附加或推斷的理由,它所引導的分句只能放在句子后部,并且前后兩個分句間的邏輯關系不一定是因果關系,其間用逗號隔開.Thedaysareshort,foritisnowDecember.Itmusthaverained,forthegroundiswet.nowthat既然.常放句首.Nowthatyouhaveleftuniversity,youwillhavetofindajob.Nowthateverybodyishere,let'sbeginthediscussion.1.Don’tbeafraidofaskingforhelp____itisneeded.A.unlessB.sinceC.althoughD.when2.Marywasmakingadress___shecutherfinger.A.whenB.whileC.asD.after3.Itwas_____backhomeafterexperiment.A.notuntilmidnightdidhegoB.untilmidnightthathedidnotgoC.notuntilmidnightthathewentD.untilmidnightwhenhedidnotgo4.UnlikewatchingTV,readingisahighlyactiveprogress(過程),___itrequiresattentionaswellasmemoryandimagination.A.untilB.butC.unlessD.for5.ShethoughtIwastalkingaboutherdaughter,___,infact,Iwastalkingaboutmydaughter.A.whomB.whereC.whichD.while6.____quiterecently,mostmothersinBritaindidnottakepaidworkoutsidethehome.BeforeB.UntilC.FromD.Since7.____youareleavingtomorrow,wecaneatdinnertogethertonight.ForB.SinceC.BeforeD.While

Theboywasabsentbecausehewasill.Itwasbecausehewasillthattheboywasabsent.

2.-----Whycan'tyougotherenow?------_____I’mtoobusy.3.(Trueorfalse)BecuseIhadnothingbettertodo,soIdecidedtogotoWufengMountainwiththem.

Awhy;becauseBwhy;thatCthat;becauseDthat;/as表示十分明顯的原因，一般說明因果關系，著重點在主句，語氣比because弱，常譯為“由于”。as引導的從句可放在句首或句末。1.由于正在下雪，我們不去公園了。Asitissnowing,weshallnotgotothepark.2.由于我沒有讀過這本書，所以我無法告訴你有關它的事情。

AsIhavenotreadthebook,Icannottellyouanythingaboutit.1.(2012重慶)------Coach,canIcontinuewiththetraining?-------Sorry,youcan’t______youhaven’trecoveredfromthekneeinjury.

3.since一般表示對方已知的，無需加以說明的既成事實的理由，全句中心在主句，語氣比because和as弱，常譯為“既然”。now(that)與since意思接近，表示“既然，鑒于”。表示一種含有勉強語氣的原因。since和nowthat引導的從句常放在句首。1.既然你要去，我也要去。Sinceyouaregoing,Iwillgo.2.Sinceyouaregrownup,youshouldnotrelyonyourparents.1.(2005北京)Itisalmostfiveyears______wesaweachotherlasttime.

Nowthattherainhasstopped,let'sgohomeatonce.2.既然沒有人讀過這本書，我們就不能對它進行討論。

Sincenoonehasreadthebook,wecan'tdiscussit.for意思是“因為”，但它不是從屬連詞，而是并列連詞，是用來說明，補充解釋或表示一種推理，它所引導的分句只能放在句子后部,并且前后兩個分句間的邏輯關系不一定是因果關系,其間用逗號隔開.1.我們得早點出發，因為我們有很長一段路要走。Wemuststartearly,forwehavealongwaytogo.Itmusthaverainedlastnight,forthegroundiswet.1.(2008山東)Hefounditincreasinglydifficulttoread,_______hiseyesightwasbeginningtofail.
