1.2.3 because引导的主语从句

在英语中,还有一种较为特殊的主语从句,即是由because引导的主语从句。这种主语从句的结构一般是“because+陈述句”,置于主语位置,后面直接加谓语,而且这个谓语往往都是does not mean。在because前面往往会有just一词,起强调语气的作用。请看例句:

1 Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

妙语点睛 该句的主语是just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to这个从句,谓语是doesn't mean。

精品译文 如果有人没有以你希望的方式去爱你,并不意味着他们没有全身心地爱你。

2 Something which seems valuable at first may turn out to be worthless. Example: “All that glitters is not gold!” Just because something appears valuable does not mean that it really is valuable.

妙语点睛 该句的主语是just because something appears valuable这个从句,谓语是does not mean。

精品译文 有些东西乍看起来很值钱,但后来却证明一文不值。比如,人们常说“闪闪发光的并不都是金子”。只是看起来很值钱的东西并不意味着真的很值钱。 再看下面这个比较好的例句,也许能引起读者的一些思考:

3 There is a big difference between activity and accomplishment. Just because you are doing something doesn't mean you are getting anywhere. One must evaluate one's activity in order to have accomplishment.

妙语点睛 该句的主语是just because you are doing something这个从句,谓语是doesn't mean。

精品译文 工作与成就这两者之间是有很大差距的,仅仅是不停地工作并不意味着你就取得了成就。因此,人们必须认真审视自己眼下的工作,看是否真的能够取得成就。

思维总结
