because作为一个高频词妥妥地出现在同学们的口语写作中,也因其强大的情感特征,成为最不好被替换掉的连接词之一。那么如果你确实用腻了because,想找几个替换词换着用该怎么办?所以今天决定把雅思写作中最常见的一种论证方法:因果论证,以及里面可以用到的一些表达汇总一下。
下面的总结分为 4 大类:
基础替换词:比如 since、as、due to 等
从句和句型:比如 which leads to、with 结构等
表达的转述:比如 be responsible for 等
不完全替换:比如 by dint of 等
其中重点推荐第 2 种和第 3 种方式,希望你看完之后会觉得非常实用,以至于下次写到 because 的时候觉得不替换都不舒服。
今天为大家分享33个基础替换词
因为(+从句):because/ since/ as/ for/ for the reason that / now that/ in that
所以(+句子):so/ therefore/ thus/ hence/ as a result/ as a consequence/ consequently/ for this reason/ for all these reasons/ so that/ accordingly/ with the result that
由于(+非句子):due to/ because of/ result from/ owing to/ thanks to/ on account of/ as a result of/ in consequence of
导致(+非句子):lead to/ cause/ contribute to/ result in/ give rise to/ bring about
“因为”的替换种,now that 和 in that 算是比较少见特别的。前者也有“既然”的意思,而后者在牛津词典中的解释就是:for the reason that。
“所以”的替换中,除了 so/ with the result that 之外,其他一般都用在句首更多,并且需要大写首字母,后面加上逗号。accordingly 也有很多时候放在句末,表示“相应地”。
“导致”的意思的表达,都算是动词词组,前后需要加上主语和宾语,都不是句子的形式,而是名词或者名词性的词组、动名词、分词等。
如果想在类似 lead to 或者 due to 后面加一长串完整的句子,我们可以写成 due to the fact that/ lead to the fact that,虽然这样非常啰嗦,但是以凑字数为目的,也是一个选择。
