✔ 最佳答案
as, since, 和 because 都可解作 [因為],但用法有點不同。
as 和 since 通常用來解釋前因所導致的後果。例如:
Since he was sick, he did not go to work yesterday.
As he was sick, he did not go to work yesterday.
因為他病了, 所以昨天沒上班。
前因是 [他病了],導致的後果是 [他沒去上班]。
because 通常用來解釋一件事或行動的前因。例如:
He did not go to work yesterday because he was sick.
他昨天沒去上班的原因是他病了。
行動是:[他沒去上班]。前因是 [他病了]。
除此之外,as 和 since 都有 [既然] 或 [反正]的意思,例如:
Since I am already late, I might as well skip school today.
As I am already late, I might as well skip school today.
反正己經遲了,今天倒不如不上學了。
because 只解作 [因為],而沒有 [既然] 或 [反正] 的意思。
希望能用得着。
