③It’s only two weeks since he worked in our factory.
他离开我们厂才两个星期。
④It’s over ten years since my father was a basketball player.
我爸爸已十多年不打篮球了。
可能有同学会问以下的两个句子怎么不用反译呢?
⑤I have never seen him since he has been ill. (延续性动词)
⑥I have never seen him since he fell ill. (瞬间动词)
这是因为,句型必须是It is ...since +v结构“反译”才成立。
(二)引导原因状语从句的连词的选择
引导原因状语从句的连词常见的有:because, since, now that , as等。
表三:because,as,since,for的区别
项目 连词 |
涵义 | 语气 |

because | 直接因果关系 | 强 | 能 | 主句前或后 | 能 |
as | 双方都知道的原因 | 弱 | 不能 | 主句前或后 | 不能 |
since | 已经发生的事情 | 弱 | 不能 | 主句前 | 不能 |
for | 表推测或进一步说明 | 弱 | 不能 |
主句后, 常用逗号隔开 |

如:
1. —Why were you absent from the meeting yesterday?
—Because I was ill.
2. Since everybody is here, let’s begin our meeting.
3. As you didn’t turn up at yesterday’s get-together, we missed you very much.
4. It must have rained last night,for the ground is wet.
【例8】—May I go and play with Dick this afternoon, Mum?
—No, you can’t go out _______ your work is being done.
A. before B. until C. as D. the moment
答案:C。
点拨:此题容易误选B,考生误认为这是考查 not…until…结构。句中的 your work is being done 表明“你正在做作业”,这应是说明前面you can’t go out的原因,所以要选 as 表原因。
(三)引导让步状语从句的连词的选择
引导让步状语从句的连词有:though,although,as,even if / though,no matter wh-, wh-ever,whether…or…等。其中特别要注意whatever,whoever,whomever,whichever,whenever,wherever,however及no matter + what / who/ whom/ which/ when/ whever/ how的正确选择。
