due to, because of與owing to的區別
三者均可表示“由於”、“因為”,按照傳統語法:due to 主要引導表語,而 because of, owing to 兩者都主要引導狀語。如:
His illness is due to bad food. 他生病是由於吃了不好的食物。
The accident was due to careless driving. 這次車禍起因於駕駛疏忽。
He can’t come because of the bad weather. 他不能來是因為天氣不好。
Owing to the rain, the match was cancelled. 比賽因雨被取消了。
但是在現代英語中,due to 也可用來引導狀語,而 owing to 也可以用來引導表語。如:
由於交通擁擠他遲到了。
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 通常只用來引導狀語,若引導表語,主語通常應為代詞。如:
It is all because of what you said. 那完全是因為妳說的話。
