In that,now that, since, for, because and as表原因的区别
1.
since(既然)语气较弱,强调已知的事实。例:
Since you can't answer the question, I'll ask someone
else.既然你回答不出这个问题,我就问别人了。
Since you're not interested, I won't tell you about it.既然你不感兴趣,那我就不告诉你了。
Since it stops raining, let’s go out to continue the work.
2.
for是并列连词,表示推断的原因,或对前一分句补充说明理由。例:
It must be morning for the birds are
singing.一定是清晨了,因为鸟儿在叫。
He felt no fear, for he was very brave.他很勇敢, 毫不畏惧。
3.
because通常表示直接的原因。because引导的从句表示直接而明确的原因和理由,表示按因果关系的推断,语气很强,用来回答why的问题,
一般位于主句之后。例:
We couldn't go out because it was too cold.
因为天气太冷,我们不能外出。
John didn't attend the meeting because he was ill.约翰没有出席会议, 因为他病了。
Because he is tired, he does not want to go with us.因为他太疲劳所以他不想和我们一起去。
I criticized him, not because I hate him but because I love him.我批评他不是因为我恨他而是因为我爱他。

now that同since相似,语气较弱,强调人们已知的事实。例:
Now that you are busy, let me do it for
you.既然你忙,就让我给你做吧。
Not that I'm unwilling to go with you, but that I'm busy now.并不是我不愿意和你去, 而是因为现在我很忙。
