回答1:

as,because,since都可以表示因果关系,连接原因状语从句,含义是"因为,由于",但它们有区别:because表示的语气最强;as一般放在句首,语气较弱,较口语化;since常常用在书面语中,表示多为对方已知的、或稍加分析便可得知的原因,有时可译作"既然"。例如:

(1) He will succeed because he is in earnest.他一定会成功,因为他很认真。

(2) Since you are so sure of it he”ll believe you.既然你对此如此有把握,他会相信你的。

(3) As rain has fallen, the air is cooler.因为下过雨,空气比较清爽。

回答2:

since和as是从属连词,说明的是已为人们所知和理由。since的语气比because弱,但比as强。since和as引导的从句一般放在句子的开头。

Since he was busy, he didn't come.

他因为忙,所以没来。

As I have a day off today, I'll write to you.

因为我今天有一天假,所以就给你写信。

此外,since也可以述说推断的理。如:

It must have rained, since the ground is wet.

一定下过雨,因为地是湿的.
