due to的含義及用法

due to 由于、因為

例句：Mistakes due to carelessness may have serious consequences.

由粗心大意造成的錯誤有可能帶來嚴重的后果。

due to+n(名詞)/doing sth 解釋為由...導致。

例句：Her illness is due to bad food.

她生病是由于吃了不好的食物。

The accident was due to careless driving.

這次車禍起因于駕駛疏忽。

due to與because of的區別

due to后可接短語、名詞because后加句子，如果是because of 則和due to 差不多

due to 可以放在句首，而because of 通常不放于句首;

due to 主要引導表語，而 because of主要引導狀語。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.

這次車禍起因于駕駛疏忽。

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。

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. 那完全是因為你說的話。

due to和owing to 差別

均可表示“由于”、“因為”，按照傳統語法：due to 主要引導表語，而 owing to 兩者都主要引導狀語。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. 這次車禍起因于駕駛疏忽。

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：

由于交通擁擠他遲到了。

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.
