最近刷OG， 看到OG12语法第一题说 the preposition since loses the important causal logic of the sentence. 第六题又说 Due to is an imprecise expression of the causal connection between the tourists' breath and the closing of the museum for cleaning. 我就很纠结because, due to, since, as 的区别。我个人觉得比due to=cause by 好用很多。 然后在网上找到了一个很好用的解释，和大家分享一下哦。
原版网址是这个： http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/because-due-to-since-as.aspx
在此我也简述一下吧，以便加深印象
Wordy way to say "Because" 有以下几种：
“due to the fact that,” “owing to the fact that,” “on account of,” and “on the grounds that,”
”Due to" or "Because"?
英语中最传统的方法使用due to 是做形容词表修饰。比如：
“The cancellation was due to rain,” the words “due to” modify “cancellation.” That sentence is a bit formal, but it fits the traditionalist rule.如果说：
“It was cancelled due to rain” because “due to” doesn’t have anything to modify. 所以只能说” It was cancelled because of rain."due to 也不可用于句子开头。
“Since” or "Because"?
在语法中， Since 和 Because 类似。
“since” and “because” can be synonyms.但是since 会在句子中引起歧义。
The word “since” often refers to how much time has passed, as in “Since yesterday, all I’ve thought about is you.” Sometimes, a sentence with “since” can be interpreted in two ways, and that is when you should avoid using “since” to mean “because.” Take this ambiguous sentence:“Since they spoke, she’s had second thoughts.” (“Since” could mean “from the time that” or “because.”)
希望对大家有帮助哈~加油 |
