大家好,欢迎回来,这里是《Faith口语课堂-天天学》,我是Faith老师。美丽的一天又迎来了我们新的一课,轻松学点英语口语知识,再听首英文歌,这样的生活不也很充实吗?
今天,我们主要讲讲”since”的用法:

首先,”since”表示“自从……起,直到现在”,”since”后面一般用过去式句子或单词,词组,前面一般用现在完成时,或现在完成进行时态:
I've never danced since I came to Guangzhou. 我自从到了广州,就没跳过舞。
I've been teaching English since I graduated from college. 我自从大学毕业后,一直教英语。
We've been very close since we met each other 2 years ago. 我们自从两年前认识后,一直是很要好的朋友。
She hasn't worked since her marriage. 她结婚后,未曾去工作过。

Ever since 表示从那时到现在,此后一直:
He went to London in 1979, and has lived there ever since. 他1979年去了伦敦,从此之后,一直住在那。

“since”的第二种用法,表示原因,“由于,因为,鉴于”,用在稍正式的场合:
The hiking is cancelled since it's raining cats and dogs. 徒步旅行被取消了,因为下着倾盆大雨。
Since we have no money, we can't afford it for the time being. 我们没钱,所以暂时买不起。
I can't go to your class since I am ill. 我不能去上你的课,因为我病了。

“for“也可以引导原因,用在稍口语化的场合:
I can't let you do it for it's gonna damage your reputation. 我不能让你这么做,因为这会毁了你的名声。
They call for a meeting for there's something urgent to discuss right now. 他们要求立即开一个会议,因为发生了紧急的事需要讨论。
