所以
suǒ yǐ
therefore，副词，是表示因果关系(causal consequence)的最为规范的用语，用来翻译汉语中的连词“所以”，而且“所以”常与前一句中的“因为”、“由于”连用，说明原因和理由。要注意用“所以”的是主句，而从句中的“因为”可以不译。
- 因为熊猫是稀有动物，所以要尽一切努力去保护。 Pandas are a very rare animal and therefore we should do our best to protect them.
- 由于老板不在，所以她把钱交给了我。 The boss was absent and therefore she gave the money to me.正因为前一句中的“因为”、“由于”只起呼应作用，可以不译。故在现代汉语中大都很少使用。
- 他的腿断了，所以没有打比赛。 He broke his leg and therefore he didn't play in the game.
- 瞧窗外那些人！他们都打起了雨伞，所以一定是下雨了。 Look at those people outside the window! They have their umbrellas up and therefore it must be raining.但有时为了强调原因，可以译初“因为”（because），而不译“所以”（therefore），这时的because应重读。
- 因为他干活很仔细，所以连续6年不出废品。 Because he works very carefully, he has not produced a reject in the last six years.
so，跟therefore不同，是一个表示因果关系的连词，而且没有那么严密的推理，常用于简洁的日常会话。
- 因为我急着要走，所以来不及通知你了。 I was in a hurry to leave, so I didn't let you know.
- 因为我突然想起你是要给我出主意的人，所以我急着来找你了。 It occurred to me that you were the man to advise me, so I have hurried to you now.
- 他要我干，所以我干了。 He wanted me to do it, so I did it.
- 你不听，所以我不说了。 You aren't listening, so I'll shut up.
accordingly, consequently，与therefore 样，都是表示因果关系的副词，但一般都用在散文、论文、叙述文中，有“顺理成章”的意思。
- 他病得不能再呆在学校了，所以我们把他送回了家。 He was too sick at school, accordingly we sent him home.
- 我被告知要讲得简短，所以我草草结束了讲话。 I was told to speak briefly, accordingly I cut short my remarks.
- 雨很大，所以田地都被淹了。 The rain was heavy, consequently the land was flooded.
- 他是个很受欢迎的候选人，所以肯定会当选。 He is the popular candidate, consequently he is sure to be elected.
the reason why…that，以上几个词都是先说原因，后说结果。但这个词却是先说结果，后说理由以突出原因。可与汉语“…之所以…是因为…”的格式对应，往往用于书面。
- 我们之所以没有去是因为我们得到通知太晚了。 The reason why we didn't go was that we were notified too late.
- 我之所以对他比较熟悉，是因为我和他在一起工作过两年。 The reason why I know him pretty well is that he and I have worked together for a couple of years.
- 中国革命之所以取得胜利，主要是因为有正确的理论指导。 The reason why the Chinese revolution was successful was that it was guided by a correct theory.
“之所以”除了先说结果，后说理由之外，还可用来推理。这时一般都用It诫一that，一这样的句型。
- 诗之所以为诗，在乎意境，不在乎辞藻。 It is the mood and atmosphere, not poetic diction, that makes poetry what it is.
- 大学之所以为大学，不在大楼，而在大师也。 It is the great masters, not tall buildings, that make a university real.
“所以”除了用作虚词外，还可用作实词。
- 所以呀，要不我怎么会这么说呢？ That's just the point. Otherwise I wouldn't have said it.
- 不要因为胜利而忘乎所以。 Don't get swollen-headed because of victory.
- 你是忘乎所以了吧？ Are you forgetting yourself?
- 他高兴得忘乎所以了。 He became delirious with joy.
- 他被自己的成就弄得忘乎所以了。 He was carried away by his achievements.
