Question

as,because,since,for有哪些区别？

Answer 1

　　because\x0d\x0a　　because引导原因状语从句语气最强，表示直接原因,常用来回答由why提出的问题，所引导从句可放在主句前，也可放在主句后。例如：\x0d\x0a　　"Why did you do it?" "Because Carlos told me to".\x0d\x0a　　We can't go to Julia's party because we're going away that weekend.\x0d\x0a　　Because he didn't catch the last bus, he had to walk home.\x0d\x0a　　Why are you late for school ? Because I missed the first bus.\x0d\x0a　　\x0d\x0a　　as\x0d\x0a　　as “由于,鉴于” 主从并重，从句说明原因，主语说明结果。说明比较明显的原因。多用于日常语中，常译为“由于”，从句一般放于主句前。例如：\x0d\x0a　　You can go first as you're the oldest.\x0d\x0a　　As you don't feel well, you had better stay at home.\x0d\x0a　　As he wasn't ready in time, we went without him.\x0d\x0a　　I must stop writing now, as I have rather a lot of work to do.\x0d\x0a　　As it was getting late, I decided to book into a hotel. As it is raining, you'd better take a taxi.\x0d\x0a　　\x0d\x0a　　since\x0d\x0a　　since “因为,既然” 侧重主句，主句表示显然的或已知的理由。强调说话者和听者双方都知道的原因，常译为“既然”，一般用在这样的句子里。例如：\x0d\x0a　　Since we've got a few minutes to wait for the train, let's have a cup of coffee.\x0d\x0a　　Since you are not feeling well, you may stay at home.\x0d\x0a　　Since everybody is here, let's begin the meeting.\x0d\x0a　　Since I am a boy, let me carry the case.\x0d\x0a　　Since/As you are busy, you had better not go with us.\x0d\x0a　　Since we have no money, we can't buy that vase.\x0d\x0a\x0d\x0a　　for\x0d\x0a　　for “因为,由于”表明附加或推断的理由，引导的分句前常有逗号。for分句不放句首.是用来附带解释或说明前一分句的原因和理由。例如：\x0d\x0a　　Day breaks, for the cock crows.\x0d\x0a　　It must have rained last night, for the ground is wet.\x0d\x0a　　I won't go in, for my father is there.\x0d\x0a　　He must be ill, for he is absent.\x0d\x0a　　I went to see him, for I had something to tell him.

Answer 2

这四个词都是表示原因或理由的连接词.
但是as，because，since是从属连词，引导原因状语从句，
for是并列连词，所引导的不是原因状语从句，而是表示理由的对等句子，是对前面所讲内容补充和说明。
在语气上由强至弱依次为because→since→as→for。

because引导的从句多置于句末，表示直接的原因或理由，表示产生那种结果的必然的因果关系，在回答why的提问时，必须用because作答。
如：we
stayed
at
home
because
it
rained．因为下雨我们呆在家里。
as与since引导的从句多置于句首，不过as表示十分明显的原因，只说明一般的因果关系，可译为“因为、由于”；
而since则表示稍加分析、对方已知的原因，一般可译为“既然”。如：
as
he
was
not
feeling
well，i
decided
to
go
there
alone．由于他身体欠佳，我决定独自去那里。
since
everyone
is
here，let's
start．既然大家都到了，咱们就开始吧。
for引导的从句一般放在句末，其前用逗号，它所叙述的理由是间接的，即推测性理由，或是对前面叙述的事实或看法的补充说明。如：
there
must
be
nobody
in
the
classroom，for
the
light
is
off．
教室里一定没有人，因为灯灭了。（推测性理由）
