Question

请问since and because 有甚么分别?

Answer 1

Since and because have a same meaning in general ->因为 But since have another meaning->Since 19XX But now we focus on the meaning of 因为
以显示因果关系(cause-and-result relationship) 虽然意义上一样
但系层次上有些少唔同
好明显since系高层次过because 最重要既分别
在于用法同摆放既位置 有Because of 摆最前面: Because of XXX
YY ZZZ 有Because 摆最前面: BecauseXXX
so/therefore YYZZZ 有Since摆最前面: Since XXX
YYZZZ 有摆中间: The YYZZZ because/since XXX 记住because 只可以系句段(唔一定句子)前面出现既时候加of 系中间既话加of就会差
唔一定错
但系唔流畅 记住绝对无since of 呢样野 2008-04-15 16:22:49 补充： 唉...迟左...打字始终系比查Yahoo字典慢架啦...msyj1996既答案都算经过处理...但系绮澄既答案我就不敢苟同...

since同because的意思根本唔同 since系从的意思
