now that的用法

now that

英 [naʊ ðæt] 美 [naʊ ðæt]

释义：由于

用法：now that除了表示原因外，还含now的意思，意思是“既然(现在)……”“既然(当时)……”。

例句：

Now you're settled, why don't you take up some serious study?

既然你(现在)已经安顿下来了，为什么不开始正经地学点东西呢?

now that，since，as的区别

now that 用来说明一种新情况，然后加以推论。

例句：

Now that you are ready, we'll start at once.

既然你已经准备好了，我们马上开始。

since 较弱，指双方都明确的原因或众所周知的原因，泽为“既然”，侧重主句，从句表示显然的或已知的理由。

例句：

Since you don't like it, I'll put it away.

既然你不喜欢，我就把它放在一边。

as “由于，鉴于”，指客观事实，常与since互换使用。

例句：

As there was no answer, I wrote again.

鉴于没回复，我又写了一封信。
