厨师想让我告诉你因为你从不留小费，你最好知道他从不洗手。 Bruised（浑身是伤） and bandage（缠着绷带）， a worker arrived at the office. Since he was an hour late， his boss yelled and wanted him to explain. “I fell down a flight of stairs.” “And that took a whole hour？” 一名工作人员浑身是伤，缠着绷带来到办公室，因为他迟到了一个小时，老板冲他大喊大叫要他作出解释。 “我从楼梯上掉了下来”。 “那需要整整一个小时吗”？ The modern French duel（ 决斗）is one of the most dangerous traditions of our day. Since it is fought in the open air the combatants are sure to catch cold. 现代法国决斗是当代最危险的风俗之一。因为在露天进行，决斗者肯定要得感冒。 注：“决斗的危险”和“感冒”联系起来思维是发散的。 Since we‘re both working on the same marriage， I thought it should be a good idea to get together and compare notes. 因为我们经营的是同一个婚姻，我认为我们一起比较一下便条是个好主意。 注：夫妻间在打冷战，谁也不跟谁说话，丈夫提议用便条来交流。 2.其他表示原因的方式 除了状语从句外，一些介词短语同样可以表示原因，这样的短语有：because of， thank to， due to， owing to等。 Teacher： Why are you late， Joseph？ Joseph： Because of a sign on the road. Teacher： What does a sign have to do with your being late？ Joseph： The sign said， School Ahead， Go Slow！ 老师：你为什么迟到？ 学生：因为一个路标。 老师：路标和你迟到有什么关系？ 学生：路标上写着，“前面有学校，慢行”。 Thanks to my failure to learn shorthand.（速记） It probably saved me from a lifetime of hard work.
