13.3 英语中 because 和 so 通常不同时使用

中文常说“因为……所以……”,但英语中一般不说:

错误:Because it rained, so we stayed at home.

正确表达:

Because it rained, we stayed at home.
It rained, so we stayed at home.

同理,althoughbut 通常不同时连接同一主从结构:

错误:Although he was tired, but he kept working.
正确:Although he was tired, he kept working.
正确:He was tired, but he kept working.
