并列连词for表示原因与解释

for用作并列连词时有两个主要用法:

并列连词for用法一:

并列连词 for 表示原因,总是放在主句之后(此时可与 because 换用)。如:

The ground is wet, for (=because) it rained last night. 地面是湿的,因为昨晚下过雨。

He shook his head, for (=because) he thought differently. 他摇了摇头,因为他有不同想法。

We rarely stay in hotels, for (=because) we can’t afford it. 我们很少住宾馆,因为我们住不起。

并列连词for用法二:

并列连词 for 有时不表示原因,只是对前面分句内容的解释或推断(此时也要放在主句之后,但不能与because 换用)。如:

It must have rained last night, for the ground is wet this morning. 昨晚一定下过雨,你看今天早上地面是湿的。

She must have gone out early, for she had not shown up at breakfast. 她一定是一早就出去了,因为她没来吃早饭。
