because与since都有“因为”的意思,其区别是:
1、because:从属连词,语意强,着重直接的原因或理由,所引出的从句是全句的重心,用以回答why提出的问题。
例句:Iwasangry because I played so badly. 我生气因为我弹得这么糟。
2、since:语意比because弱,但比as强,一般用于表示“由于大家已知的事实”。
例:Since he was colour blind, he favoured large, showy flowers. 因为他是色盲,所以他喜爱大而艳丽的花。
I was angry because I played so badly.
