2021-10-11 11:33:34文/叶丹

按照传统语法,due to主要引导表语,because of主要引导状语。due to也可用来引导状语,而owing to也可以用来引导表语。because of通常只用来引导状语,若引导表语,主语通常应为代词。

due to 和because of的区别

Due to和because of区别

均可表示“由于”、“因为”,按照传统语法:due to主要引导表语,而because of主要引导状语。如:

His illness is due to bad food. 他生病是由于吃了不好的食物。

The accident was due to careless driving. 这次车祸起因于驾驶疏忽。

He can’t come because of the bad weather. 他不能来是因为天气不好。

但是在现代英语中,due to也可用来引导状语。如:

由于交通拥挤他迟到了。

正:He was late due to [owing to, because of] the very heavy traffic.

正:Due to [Owing to, Because of] the very heavy traffic, he was late.

because of 通常只用来引导状语,若引导表语,主语通常应为代词。如:

It is all because of what you said. 那完全是因为你说的话。

because of 和 due to

because of 和 due to两个词虽然在中文可能都会翻成「因为」,词性也都是介词,但是其实他们的用法却是不一样的,不可以随便替换,会造成语法错误!

because of 前面必须是有一般动词的完整句子,而 due to 前要有名词,不能是一般动词(be 动词不是一般动词,be 动词是系动词),因为 due to 本质上是用来说明、形容名词的。
