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. - because of the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target will
- with the economy’s strength continuing, analysts predicted for weeks that the target
- because the economy continues strong, analysts predicted for weeks that the target would
- due to the economy’s continued strength, analysts have been predicting for weeks that the target
- 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 |
