The Crystal Palace was different from all other buildings in the world, for it was made of iron and glass. It was one of the biggest buildings of all time and a lot of people from many countries came to see it.
专家老师:这里的for表原因,是并列连词吗?可以和since/as换用吗?另外,不解之处是of all time 这里表示有史以来,到现在为止,为啥不用现在完成时呢?

for 是一个表原因的并列连词,就像并列连词 so 表结果一样,都是并列连词,分别表因果。这里用 for 为水晶宫的与众不同提供了一种理由。当时,它以钢铁为骨架、玻璃为主要建材的建筑而闻名于世。本句 for 换成 as, because 或 since 也可,尽管程度不同,一般没有人认真追究用的对错,考试也尽量不会涉及。值得注意的是:for 是并列连词,引导第二个并列分句,而其他三个都是从属连词,位置可以在主句之前或之后。关于为何不用现在完成时,是因为伦敦的水晶宫早已不复存在,在1936年的一场大火中它被付之一炬。英国前首相丘吉尔曾表示它的烧毁是 “一个时代的终结”。
