表达原因的多种方式：

一、从属连词because/ as /since /和并列连词for.如：

I did it because they asked me to do it. 我做了这件事是因为他们请我做的。

As it was raining ,you’d better take a taxi .天在下雨，你最好乘出租车去。

Since we have no money ,we can’t buy it. 我们没有钱，所以我们没法买。

I asked her to stay to tea, for I had something to tell her .我请她留下来喝茶，因为我有点事要告诉她。

解析：1.这四个词语气逐级递减。2.because 表示直接的原因或理由，重点在从句，常译为

“因为”；since 表示对方已知，无需说明的既成事实，中心句在主句，常译为“既然”；as 表

示明显的原因，重点在主句，常译为“由于”；for是个并列连词，只能放在另一个并列句

后面，表示一种推理或解释，或用作附加说明，并不指理由或原因，一般不放在句首，常译

为“因为”，“其理由是”（for表示因果关系时可以同because交替使用，但for前须用逗号，而

because则不必。

二、介词和介词短语

1. 介词with/for/at/of/from/over 这类介词所表达的原因是暗含的，汉译时不一定译出。

如：

She was shivering with cold .她冷得发抖。

He was very angry at losing it . 他把它丢了，很生气。

We jumped for joy. 我们高兴得跳了起来。

She couldn’t speak for laughing .她笑得说不成话。

He came of his own accord. 他是自愿来的。

Many old people died from the smog. 许多老人死于烟雾污染。

It is no use crying over spilt milk .覆水难收。

2.介词短语：英语中有大量的介词短语表示原因，以下是一些常见的例子：

on account of something/on this/that account

We delayed our departure on account of the bad weather .因为天气恶劣，我们推迟了行程。

because of

They are her because of us. 他们到这儿来是因为有我们。

by reason of

He was excused by reason of his age .他因为年龄关系而被原谅。

as a result of

The flight was delayed as a result of fog..航班因雾而晚点。

for fear of

They are afraid to speak for fear of making errors.

他们不敢讲话是因为害怕出错。

三、分词（形容词，副词）+as 从句或分词结构直接作原因状语如：

Tired as he was ,we decided not to disturb him.

因为他累了，我们决定不去打扰他。

Hard as he studied, he passed the test with ease.

由于学习刻苦，他很容易地通过了测试。

多年，他对他们很了解。
