because, as, since 或者 for 都可以用来给出解释。because 最常用,用来回答以 why 开头的疑问句。as 或 since 可以代替 because 引导原因从句,尤其是在书面语中:a note about The National Portrait Gallery, as the word ‘Gallery’ can be misleading(对 The National Portrait Gallery 的注释,因为 Gallery 一词容易令人误解),Since the juice is quite strong, you should always dilute it(这种果汁太浓,所以必须加以稀释)。在故事中,for有时用于解释或论证:He seemed to be in need of company, for he suddenly went back into the house(他看起来需要陪伴,因为他突然回到了屋里)。注意,because 是连词,用来连接一个句子中的两个观点:I'm unsocial, because of my deafness(我耳朵聋,所以不善交际)。
