关于due to与because of区别的很好解释!

看到很多人对due to和because of的区别都不太清楚,做题的时候不能根据这两个词本身排除,还要找别的因素。其实这两个词是有很大区别的,我是看到了一个鬼佬的解释才彻底明白:

Due to means"cause by". It shoud only be used if it can be substitued with "caused by".

It doed not mean the same thing as "because of ",

Incorrect: The game was postponed due to rain.

Correct: The game was postponed because of rain.

Correct: The game's postponement was due to rain.

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。

举例:GWD7-40

Q40:

Since February, the Federal Reserve has raised its short-term interest rate target five times, and because of the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target will be raised again in November.

  1. because of the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target will
  2. with the economy’s strength continuing, analysts predicted for weeks that the target
  3. because the economy continues strong, analysts predicted for weeks that the target would
  4. due to the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target
  5. due to the fact of the economy’s continued strength, analysts predicted for weeks that the target will

DE显然无法换成caused by,所以直接排除。当然这两个选项还有其他问题,但是用due to来排除是最快

XDF好像有个规律说because of, because> since> due to
