新概念英语
due to的含义及用法
due to 由于、因为
例句：Mistakes due to carelessness may have serious consequences.
由粗心大意造成的错误有可能带来严重的后果。
due to+n(名词)/doing sth 解释为由...导致。
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.
这次车祸起因于驾驶疏忽。
due to与because of的区别
due to后可接短语、名词because后加句子，如果是because of 则和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。
Owing to the rain, the match was cancelled.
比赛因雨被取消了。
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。
due to和owing to 差别
均可表示“由于”、“因为”，按照传统语法：due to 主要引导表语，而 owing to 两者都主要引导状语。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。
Owing to the rain, the match was cancelled. 比赛因雨被取消了。
但是在现代英语中，due to 也可用来引导状语，而 owing to 也可以用来引导表语。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.
