provided that和in that的区别,好像都表示因为的意思呀

provided that
假如, 倘若

in that
由于, 因为
既然

provided that是“假设,如果,前提是”的意思
例如:You can borrow the book provided that you return it on time.
你可以把书借走,但必须及时归还。

in that才是“因为”的意思,等于because. 但in that表示的因果关系不如because那么强烈。
They are similar in that they both like chemistry.
他们很相像,因为大家都喜欢化学。
(上面的句子里面,将in that改成because也可以。不过在这里并不是强调因为两个人都喜欢化学,所以他们很相像;而是解释为什么说他们很相像。)

两者意思是有具体其别的,provided that 并不是“因为”的意思

【provided that】假如,若是,在。。。条件下

例句:
I will go, provided that you go too.
你也去的话我就去。
We shall go provided that the weather is fine.
只要天晴, 我们就去。

【in that】(在这一点上)由于,因为

例句:
He didn't attend the negotiation in that he was ill.
他因为有病,没有参加谈判。
He will do well in that work because he has a lot on the ball.
他是会做好那件工作的,因为他很有才干。
