题目内容
---Why didn't you come to school yesterday?
---______I was ill.
- A.Because
- B.For
- C.Since
- D.As
这四个词都表示“因为”,但用法有点区别。首先,because表示直接原因,直接明白,清清楚楚地说明事情原委,它重在因果关系。特别是以why提问的句子,必须用because来回答。例如:
Why do you go that way?
你为什么走那条路?
Because I think it is the nearest way.
因为我想这是条最近的路。
He must have passed this way, for here are footprints.
他想必是从这条路过去的,因为这里有脚印。
for表示原因,主要是补充并加以说明,解释的。
as和since表示原因和理由时,since较as意味略高,也就是说as在表示原因时,其语气不强。例如:
I can't go, (as) I am busy.
我不能去,(因为)我很忙。
(这里的“因为”可以省去)
Since your way doesn't work, let me try.
既然你的方法不行,那就让我试试吧。
Dick lived in England. One day in January he said to his wife, "I'm going to fly to New York next week because I've got some work there." "Where are you going to stay there?" his wife asked. "I don't know yet." Dick answered. "Please send me your address from there in a telegram (电报)," his wife said. "All right," Dick answered.
He flew to New York on January 31st and found a nice hotel in the center of the city. He put his things in his room and then he sent his wife a telegram. He put the address of his hotel in it.
In the evening he didn't have any work, so he went to a cinema. He came out at nine o'clock and said, "Now I'm going back to my hotel and have a nice dinner."
He found a taxi (出租车) and the driver said, "Where do you want to go?" But Dick didn't remember the name and address of his hotel.
"Which hotel are my things in?" he said, "And what am I going to do tonight?" But the driver of the taxi did not know. So Dick got out and went into a post office. There he sent his wife another telegram, and in it he wrote, "Please send me my address at this post office."
