because of, due to , on account of , owing to , thanks to , as a result of ,
等都可以用来
表示原因，但其用法却各有不同。

一、
because of
意为“因为，由于”，普通用语，比其他短语更口语化；构 成的
短语在句子中通常作状语，一般不作表语用；若引导表语，主语通常应为代词。
后面可接名 词、代词、分词或
what
引导的名词性从句等。

有伤可能缺席美国公开赛。（置于句后作状语）

said nothing about it.
因为他妻子 在场，
我对此事
只字未提。
(
接
-ing
分词短语
)

他说的那些话。
(
接
what
从句
)

(
接
what
从句

二、
due to
“由于，因…造成”，按照传统语法：
due to
主要引导表语，但是在
现代英语中，
due to
也可用来引导状语（此时不用于句首），也可作定语。

因高速驾驶造成的交通事故很多。

’
s application to the University was not accepted due to his failing English.

另：“
Due to
”
means


Incorrect:
The game was postponed due to rain.

Correct:
The game was postponed because of rain.

Correct:

以后再遇到
due to
只要把它换成我们熟悉的
caused by
就清楚多了。

注意：
due to
除可表示原因外，还有“应给于，应属于”的意思。

Our grateful thanks are due to you.
向你表示我们衷心的感谢

三、
on account of
当“因为”讲，后面常接名词。

It means: because of something else, especially a problem or difficulty

四、
owing to
主要在句中作状语，有时作表语；做状语时，习惯上用逗号和句子
其他部分分开。
