而连接词常常有很多形式,举个例子,单是“因为”这个词,你能想到和英文中对立的词有多少?今天咱们就一起来看一下英文中常见连接词举例。
1.表示因为:
假设一个情景,明天有你的一场表演,但是因为下雨或者将要下雨取消了,那么这些用不同的“因为"该怎么表达呢?(A/B表示两个人在对话)
A:Whyisyourperformancecancelled
B:Becauseitisraining,myperformanceiscancelled.
B:Thecancellationofmyperformanceisbecauseitisraining.
B:Myperformanceiscancelledbecauseoftherain/raining.
B:Thecancellationofmyperformanceisbecauseoftherain.
A:Myperformancemightbecancelledforitwouldrain/therainiscoming.
A:Myperformanceiscancelledforraining/therain/itisrainging.
B:Oh,whatapity.Butbeoptimistic,maybeitwon't.
for与because的区别也就很明显了,because的原因比较肯定,好像有个人在问你,为什么你的表演取消了?然后你回答因为要下雨了,回答why的问题时只能用because。for表示推断的原因,我的表演可能要被取消了,因为可能要下雨了。但是表推断是不一定非要加上情态动词,也可以直接加名词,表示我猜测表演取消是由于这个原因。
for后面可以加名词,动名词和句子,而because只能加句子,becauseof只能加短语(名词或者动名词)。
A:Itisraining.
B:Sinceitisraining,myperformancehavebeencancelled.
A:Itisrainging.
B:Asitisraining,myperformanceiscancelled.
Since和as,since有“既然”的意思,as可以理解为“由于”,二者都表示双方已经知道的原因,很明显的原因。就好像对方对你说,下雨了。然后你回答,既然下雨了,我的表演就要被取消了。
以上四个词的语气强弱:because-since-as-for
Myperformanceiscancelledowingtotherain/raining.
Thecancellationofmyperformanceisowingtotherain.
Myperformanceiscancelledduetotherain.
Thecancellationofmyperformanceisduetotherain.
Myperformanceiscancelledonaccountoftherain/raining.

A:Youareill,soyourperformanceiscancelled,right
B:Yes,that'sright.Buttherainalsocontributestothecancellationofmyperformance.
B:Oh,myGod!Ihateraining.Myperformanceiscancelledasaresultoftherain.
2.表示因此;所以:
同样的应用上述场景,下雨了,因此,你的表演被取消了。那么用不同的”因此“该怎么表达呢?
Itisraining,somyperformanceiscancelled.
★用在整句中:
多不放在句末,放在句首和句中。放在句首时,其后要用逗号隔开。如例①。
用做插入语,放在句中时前后需要用逗号隔开,如例②。
放在主语后面时,不加逗号,如例③。
①A:Itisraining.
B:Therefore,myperformanceiscancelled.
②Itisraining,therefore,myperformanceiscancelled.
③Itisraining,myperformancethereforeiscancelled.
★用在分句中:
用在分句中,前面要用分号隔开,如例①。
如果前面是逗号,要用andtherefore。如例②。
如果分句前后主语是同一个,therefore的后面要省略主语。如果主语谓语都是同一个,则therefore的后面省略主语和谓语。比如:Myperformanceisbadandthereforecancelled.
①Itisraining;thereforemyperformanceiscancelled.
②Itisraining,andthereforemyperformanceiscancelled.
用在整句中:
B:Thus,myperformanceiscancelled.
