原因状语从句 知识点

一、原因状语从句的定义:原因状语从句是用来解释某件事发生的原因。最常用的一个从属连词是because,常用来强调原因,尤其在阅读篇章汇总,because一词之后通常是关键信息。
二、原因状语从句引导词。  引导原因状语从句的从属连词有because(因为), for(因为),as(由于) ,since(既然),now(that)(既然), when(既然),seeing (that) (由于,鉴于),considering (that)(考虑到),given (that) (考虑到),in that等,除了这些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(表示“既然”)。
三、原因状语从句基本用法
1、because的用法:because通常表示直接的原因。because引导的从句表示直接而明确的原因和理由,表示按因果关系的推断,语气很强,用来回答why的问题,一般位于主句之后。例如:We couldn't go out because it was too cold. 因为天气太冷,我们不能外出。
2、for的用法:for是并列连词,引出的原因较间接,似乎是事后所想到的补充解释的理由,只陈述一般推断的理由,不一定表示产生结果的必然原因,主要放在两个并列句之间。例如:It must be morning for the birds are singing.一定是清晨了,因为鸟儿在叫。
注意:下列情况下只能使用because:①在回答why的问句时;②在用于强调句型时;③被not所否定时。
3、as和since的用法:表示已经知道的原因时用as或since,即某种原因在说话人看来已经很明显,或已为听话人所熟悉。since要比as正式一些,它们通常被置于语句之前。
4、now that(既然)的用法:  now that同since相似,语气较弱,强调人们已知的事实。例如: Now that you are busy, let me do it for you/take care of the new teachers.既然你忙,就让我给你做吧。
区别:since和now that,表示事物发展的自然结果,特别是当对方大概已经了解其原因的情况下使用,表示既成事实的原因一般位于主句之前。
5、because, since, as和for的比较
1)because语势最强,用来说明人所不知的原因,回答why提出的问题。当原因是显而易见的或已为人们所知,就用as或 since。例如:Since /As the weather is so bad, we have to delay our journey.
2)由because引导的从句如果放在句末,且前面有逗号,则可以用for来代替。但如果不是说明直接原因,而是多种情况加以推断,就只能用for。例如:He is absent today,because / for he is ill.
四、原因状语从句特殊用法
1、关于not…because结构:该结构中的否定词有时否定主句,有时否定从句,一般要根据句子的意思作出正确或合乎逻辑的理解。若not否定主句,最好在because之前用逗号,否则会引起歧义,如下句在没有特定上下文时就有两种解释:I didn't go because I was afraid. 我没有去是因为怕。/ 我不是因为怕才去。
不过若because之前有just修饰,一般认为not 是否定从句的:例如:You shouldn't get angry just because some people speak ill of you. 你不要因为有人说你坏话而生气。
2、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。
3、because从句与 because of 短语的转换    
Because引导的原因状语从句有时可与because of 短语转换。例如:He can't come because he is ill. / He can't come because of his illness. 他因病不能来。

阅读下面的短文, 根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

    Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the things he asks his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they often see what they really value in life.

    He says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn't. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.

    Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book.

    Answer: The most surprising thing is why people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I don't know much. All I am is rich.

    People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for ant given purposes in my life? In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.
