請問 is that 和 because 的用法

Question

One of my main arguments against computers replacing secretaries in the future is that most managers will need an office assistant to type reports, letters and faxes.
請問 is that 為什麼不能用 because 代替??

所以 is that 可以等於 because 是這樣嗎?? =_=

請問有誰有更詳細的解答嗎??

Answer 1

首先 is 是動詞, because 不是,這當然不可能相等嘍不過 is that = is because 就可以了One of my main arguments against computers replacing secretaries in the future is that most managers will need an office assistant to type reports, letters and faxes.=One of my main arguments against computers replacing secretaries in the future is because most managers will need an office assistant to type reports, letters and faxes.除了語氣問題,基本上上述兩句應該沒有錯的

Answer 2

你注意看看，這個句子拆解一下其實只有三個部分：主詞是「One of my main arguments ... in the future」，動詞是「is」，補語是以that起始的關係代名詞子句「that most managers will ... and faxes」。既然動詞是「is」，把動詞拿掉這個句子就沒有動詞，也就不成為句子啦！because是連接詞，作用在連接兩個相同詞性的詞或兩個子句。

is that 不等於 because。如前所述，兩者詞性不同，不能直接互換。
