due to

上一个返回列表下一个

due to：由于……而产生某个结果；由……造成。核心画面是 cause -> result：前面的原因导致后面的结果。

  • due to 后面通常接名词词组，表示导致结果的原因：due to rain / due to a delay。
  • 它和 because of 意思很接近，但 due to 往往更正式、更书面，常见于通知、报告和工作英语。
  • 如果后面要接完整从句，英语更常用 because：because it rained，而不是 due to it rained。

差异解析

due to 用来把结果和原因连起来：cause -> result。最需要分清的是 because of（意思接近但语气不同）、because（后接完整从句）和 according to（信息来源，不是原因）。

because of

because of 和 due to 都能引出原因；because of 更口语、更通用，due to 往往更正式、更书面，常用于说明某个结果的成因。

because ofWe stayed home because of the storm.

因为暴风雨，我们待在家里。

due toThe closure was due to the storm.

这次关闭是由于暴风雨。

because

because 后面接完整从句；due to 后面通常接名词词组。不要说 due to it rained，要说 because it rained 或 due to rain。

becauseThe match was canceled because it rained.

比赛取消了，因为下雨了。

due toThe match was canceled due to heavy rain.

比赛因大雨取消了。

according to

according to 引出信息来源、规则或依据；due to 引出原因或成因。来源不是原因时，不要混用。

according toAccording to the report, sales fell in May.

根据报告，五月销量下降了。

due toSales fell due to low demand.

销量下降是因为需求低。

  • 后面是名词词组，表示导致结果的原因吗？

    是 -> 用 because；due to 后面通常接名词词组。

  • 你想要更口语、更普通的原因表达吗？

    是 -> because of 也常用；due to 往往稍正式、更书面。

  • 后面是报告、数据、规则或某人的说法等信息来源吗？

    是 -> 用 according to，不用 due to。

  • 你表达的是“到期 / 预定应做”，如 due date 或 be due to do 吗？

不建议： The match was canceled due to it rained.

建议： The match was canceled because it rained. / ... due to heavy rain.

原因： due to 后面要接名词词组，不能直接接完整从句。

不建议： According to traffic, he was late.

建议： He was late due to traffic.

原因： traffic 是迟到原因，不是信息来源，所以更自然的是 due to。

不建议： The report due to lower sales.

建议： The loss was due to lower sales.

原因： due to 需要放在完整句子结构里，不能单独撑起整个谓语。
