[文法與詞彙Q&A] because, because of, due to, since, for 的區別
★★★★★★★★★★★★
同學在學習時, 常會把相同意思、用法的字放在一起學習。同時也相當依賴線上英漢字典的便利性。儘管這樣的學習很方便,但常造成單字正確意思的混淆。這樣子的做法短期內雖然可以幫助同學培養對這一連串字的模糊概念,可是會失去單字本身一些比較精確的定義和內含意義。而且這些中譯都相同的詞彙中文為母語的考生在使用上,稍微一不注意,就容易錯誤使用。
建議同學學習新的單字時,必須釐清每一個字的用法,用多種字典和文章去理解質單字的詞性、 搭配詞、和單字的字面上的意義 (denotation)及象徵性的意義 (connotation)。學習新單字的進階步驟,我建議可以透過閱讀相關議題的學術文章。從上下文的邏輯加深對單字和詞彙的認知,並把認知字彙變成應用詞彙。同時, 切記要大量反覆使用,這樣不管是在托福 (TOEFL) 雅思 (IELTS) 或SAT寫作時,避免這些錯誤影響你文章的的連貫(coherence and cohesion)、清晰(clarity)、流暢(fluency)!

回歸主題: because、 because of、due to、 since、 for 的區別
從句子結構方面:
-because + 從屬子句
-because of + 名詞或名詞片語
-since + 從屬子句
-due to + 名詞或名詞片語
-for 通常是當介系詞,當對等連接詞時可接子句
★★★★★★★★★★★★
從幾個詞本身的意義方面:
1. because 是導致某結果的直接原因,一般是有這樣的因才有那樣的果。We didn't enjoy the day because the weather was so awful.
2. for 通常是先果後因,一般前面是猜測,後面for提供依據。for 引導的子句一般不放在句子的開頭。
It must have rained last night, for the ground is still wet.
We listened eagerly, for he brought news of our families.
3. due to 向來是形容詞,作介詞不是傳統用法,而作容詞的due to只可用在be (或is、was等be的變體)之後,例如﹕
His failure was due to his laziness.
"Due to his laziness (adjectival phrase)" is modifying "his failure."
4. because of 是複合介詞,其後接名詞、代詞、動名詞、what 從句等。*
I feel cold now because of the freezing AC.
"because of the freezing AC (adverbial prepositional phrase)" is modifying/explaining "I feel cold now."
*due to + 名詞 = because of + 名詞
In modern English, due to n. = because of n.; however, some grammar nazis may hunt you down and lecture you for hours if you commit this "mistake."

5. since 多為陳述性的事實,相當於“既然”:
Since you are busy, I will go without you.
Since the earth is round, why don't we fall off it?

3/7 歌詞
I see you
藍色天空看著微風吹過樹梢
吹著讓你好像無依無靠
在這森林中 你又瘦又小
你並不知道,原來...
我看見你的溫柔如此美好
一種平凡才懂的美麗
超越我曾經擁有的一切回憶
陪我 走過奇妙經歷
請把頭抬起來 你將會明白
獨特的你無法被人取代
I see you
或許你看不清楚
藏在荊棘的禮物 帶著甜蜜的痛苦
生長在冬天的結束
I see you
你就是你 奇妙的你 茫茫人海那獨一無二的你
That special you that wonderful you that one in a million irreplaceable you
Butterfly
曲: Charis 詞 : TK
不停徘徊 空中的butterfly
四處飛舞 陪伴我靜靜發呆
白天黑夜 手中事情總是忙不完
越想簡單 越是困難
聽著歌 我心中打著節拍
天亮時分 隨旋律左右搖擺
忙碌城市 選擇愛 還是選擇離開
我學會擁抱實在
不需要有Mr. Right 生活也可以精彩
我找到自己特別專屬的可愛
迷惘中放些期待 孤獨時加點勇敢
想前進 成為一隻butterfly 這是基本款
想要成為butterfly
但願真能不被自己打敗
忙碌城市 選擇愛 還是選擇離開
我學會擁抱實在
不需要有Mr. Right 生活也可以精彩
我找到自己特別專屬的可愛
中放些期待 孤獨時加點勇敢
想前進 成為一隻butterfly 這是基本款
Wanna be like a butterfly
不需要有Mr. Right 生活也可以精彩
我找到自己特別專屬的可愛
迷惘中放些期待 孤獨時加點勇敢
想前進 成為一隻butterfly
butterfly 對自己要懂得愛
I think you'll see a butterfly
I think you'll see a butterfly
I think you'll see me
I think you'll see a butterfly
I think you'll see a butterfly
I think you'll see me
I think you'll see my butterfly
I think you'll see me
七月的陽光
詞/曲:Charis
夏天的慵懶七月的陽光
刺熱的光線燒在皮膚上
生活會慌忙心情偶爾會感傷
我不停地想回到你身旁
不想再有愛你的負擔, 不想感覺失去你的憂傷
你告訴我追求夢想時心裡總要堅強
不要為了這些小小事情而感到沮喪
但我閉上眼睛就會看到你的臉
別在我夢幻中出現愛不能在一瞬間改變
57 days
詞/曲:Charis
I think I just wasted 57 days, thinking of 57 ways
To show you that I want you
To say, “I love you”
But I think I'm losing love again
I know that being so very far apart
Will take its toll upon our hearts
Although I, really want to say…I love you
But i think you want to be just friends
Maybe it was never meant to be in the first place
I still wonder what your lips are like at the first taste
Did i just waste 57 days dreaming in a silly, romantic haze
Before, you said you'd whisk me away
to some exotic sunny place
If it rained we'd run for cover and breathe in each other
But that dream is melting like sorbet on a summer's day
Maybe it was never meant to be in the first place
I still wonder what your lips are like at the first taste
I can't read you
You wax cold and hot
Sometimes we're getting nowhere
Sometimes it hits the spot
Decisions, commitment-phobic? Well so am I
but it's been a while, since anyone has made me like flying, you make me like flying, you make me feel like flying…..
If you would tell me that your love is here to stay
I'd wait another day, and make it 58
Perhaps if we were face to face in one embrace
Our fears would be kept at bay and things will be okay
2. Think About You 中文
曲: Charis 詞 : TK
想不透很多事想不透
閉上眼沒甚麼好失落
I think about you
看不見等不到幫助
而勇氣也變得若有似無
I think about you
Chorus:
I think about you
I think about you
當白晝揭幕等待日出我興奮跳舞
擺託黑夜的束縛
當我沮喪 你的甜蜜
輕聲細語溫暖地傳遞
I think about you
我的心越來越灰心
你擁抱輕聲說沒關係
I think about you
Chorus:
I think about you
I think about you
You are here with me
當白晝揭幕等待日出我興奮跳舞
你真的在乎
Love me as I am
詞/曲:Charis
Somebody to love me as I am
Somebody who'll accept my talents and faults
Even all my freckles and spots
And when I wake up in the morning
And look like a fright I would still be a beautiful sight
If you love me just as I am
I may grow old
but I don't wanna worry about love growing cold
And when my hair's a mess
Please don't ever love me less
Care for me whether you're far or near
Comfort me through my troubles and fears
Just love me, love me as I am
Love me, love me as I am
Love me, love me as I am
Always be by my side
Love me whether I'm wrong or right
Just love me, love me as I am
小心眼
曲: Charis 詞 : TK
常懷疑事有蹊翹 皺眉又苦笑
一再地反覆煎熬 疲憊卻睡不著
無奈啊 不熟悉的城市 發什麼發牢騷
努力收斂小心眼 踏上忙碌街道
住在異鄉的泡泡 學習別人的時髦
需要增加安全感 就買幾頂鴨舌帽
我好奇 上扶梯靠右 為趕路的讓走道
觀前不顧後 是否有一天 走得到目標
厭倦自己得不到就發飆
沒有幽默感 又特愛計較
誰在耳邊 拼命吵鬧
我還不敢太隨性地發表
事有蹊翹 皺眉又苦笑
一再地反覆煎熬 疲憊卻睡不著
無奈啊 不熟悉的城市 發什麼發牢騷
努力收斂小心眼 還是有太多煩惱
我還不明瞭 怎樣做才會最好
就算有好口條 還是只能看著陌生人幸福的擁抱
厭倦自己得不到就發飆
沒有幽默感 又特愛計較
誰在耳邊 拼命吵鬧
我還不敢太隨性地發表
事有蹊翹 皺眉又苦笑
一再地反覆煎熬 疲憊卻睡不著
無奈啊 不熟悉的城市 發什麼發牢騷
努力收斂小心眼 還是有太多煩惱
事有蹊翹 皺眉又苦笑
一再地反覆煎熬 疲憊卻睡不著
無奈啊 不熟悉的城市 發什麼發牢騷
努力收斂小心眼 走上異鄉街道
