从句(四) 状语从句(二) 一、知识点梳理 3、原因状语从句
引导原因状语从句的连词有:because , since , as , now that , seeing that , considering that , in that ? 。
⑴ because , as , since 的区分
① because 表示原因的语气最强,它引导的从句一般置于主句之后。
since 和 as 表示的原因对于讲话对象很可能是已知的,或是句中不重要的部分。 【eg】Jim is trying to find a place of his own because he wants to live independently.
Jim在设法找一个属于他自己的住处,因为他想独立生活。
Since you cannot finish this task yourself , ask Tom to help you.
既然你不能独立完成这项任务,就向 Tom 寻求帮助吧。
② because 可用来回答 why 的问题,也可以在强调句中做被强调的成分。 since 和 as 无这两种用法。
【eg】-Why did not you come to my birthday party last night? -Because I was not feeling well.
-你昨晚怎么没来我的生日晚会啊? -因为我感觉不太舒服。
It is because you are careless that you have failed the experiment. 正因为你粗心你才实验失败。
③ 当说明原因时,because 任何时候都可以代替 since 和as ; 反之,since 和 as 不一定能代替 because 。
⑵ now that 相当于 since ; that 可省略。
【eg】Now ( that ) / Since everyone has come , let`s begin our class. 既然大家都到了,我们开始上课吧。
now that 表示原因的同时,也可以表示时间意义,所以主句和从句动词所表示的时间必须一致,否则不能用 now that 引导。
⑶ seeing that , considering that , in that 的区别:
三个词组在通常情况下可以交换使用,但前两个 that 可以省略 ,最后一个不可。 in that 多出现在主句之后。
【eg】Considering ( that ) he is only a beginner , he has done qiute well. 考虑到他只是个初学者,他已经做得很好了。
Seeing ( that ) she is so tired , she is unlikely to go out with us. 由于她很累了,她大概不会跟我们一块儿出去了。
We all like this teacher in that she is very kind to every student. 我们都很喜欢这个老师,因为她对每个学生都很好。
⑷ not that ? but that ? = not because ? but because ? (不是因为?而是因为?)
【eg】She has not written to us for a long time , not that she forgot , but that
she kept busy these days.
她很久没给我们写信了,不是因为她忘了,而是因为这些天她一直很忙。
4、结果状语从句
引导结果状语从句的连词有:so / such ? that , so that , with the result that ?
⑴ so / such ? that
① so 是副词,只能修饰形容词或副词。 so 的用法: so + 形容词/副词 ; so + 形容词 + a / an + 单数名词 ;so many / few
+ 可数名词的复数形式 ;so + much / little + 不可数名词
② such 是形容词,修饰名词或名词词组。
such 的用法: such + a / an ( + 形容词 )+ 单数名词 ; such ( + 形容词 )+ 复
数名词 ;such ( + 形容词 ) + 不可数名词
【eg】The wolf was so foolish that it was caught by the farmer.

③ such ? that 中 that 可省略

⑵ so that 常译为“结果”、“所以”,引导的从句常用逗号与主句隔开。

became a beggar.
