His success was due to he had been working hard.
A.that C.the fact that
我选的是C为什么错了呢?
答:ylyuan68的回答似乎应该是另一个疑问.
1."due to 是一个介词词组"-----对.2.“后面接名词”------对.3.“.或者从句"------岂不是 A 也是正确答案?4."在你提供的两个选项当中,that 都是起引导同位语从句的作用"------选 A 可不存在同位语这一说法.5."我也不能解释你错误的原因啊"-------lz 没选错啊!
现在的问题是:C对A错?A对C错?还是两个都对,出题者错?
首先,我肯定,be due to the fact that -同位语从句是绝对正确的表达,也就是说,楼主的答案是正确的,不是错误的,而且应该是最佳的.现在要证明的是:A不是最佳或是错误的.
首先,due to 作为一个合成介词,在理论上,后跟名词性的东西,可以是名词,动名词,也有可能是名词性从句.但不是所有的合成介词都可以跟从句的,与这个类似的because of 就跟从句,你可以说:because of the fact that he was ill,because of that he was ill.只能说:because he was ill.
当然,这跟because 本身就是一个连词有关.
而due不是一个连词,是一个形容词
需要查一下词典,看一看它们(due to) 合在一起有没有跟that从句的例句.
《二十一世纪英汉双解》:
b.应归[于…]的[to]
The discovery is to Newton.
该发现应归功于牛顿
Our heartfelt thanks are (to) you.
3 应 (把原因) 归[于…]的,起因于[…]的,由于…的[to]
The delay is to shortage of hands [funds].
延误是由于缺乏人手 [资金]
His illness was to overwork.
他的病起因于过度劳累
《牛津双解》:
5 to sth/sb caused by sb/sth; because of sb/sth 由某人[某事物]引起的; 由於某人[某事物]
The team's success was largely due to her efforts.该队的成功在很大程度上是由於她的努力.
注意:1 Some speakers are careful to use due to only after the verb be 有些说英语的人用due to一词很谨慎,仅将之用於动词be之後
His lateness was due to the very heavy traffic on the motorway.他迟到是因高速公路上车辆过多所致.But it is also generally considered acceptable today as a synonym for owing to,which is used differently 但目前普遍认为可将due to看作是owing to的同义词,而owing to的用法与之有别
He was late owing to/due to the very heavy traffic.他迟到是因为交通拥挤.
Due to/Owing to the heavy traffic,he was late.因交通拥挤,他迟到了.
2 Due to can be used immediately after a noun *due to可直接用於名词之後
Accidents due to driving at high speed were very common that weekend.在那个周末因高速驾驶造成的交通事故很多.
《美国传统》:
due to
due to
prep.(介词)
Because of.
因为
用法:
Due to has been widely used for many years as a compound preposition like owing to,but some critics have insisted that the adjectival status ofdue must be retained.According to this view,it is incorrect to sayThe concert was canceled due to the rain,as opposed to the acceptableThe cancellation of the concert was due to the rain,wheredue continues to function as an adjective modifying cancellation.
Due to 已多年被广泛地当作象 owing to 那样的复合介词使用,但批评者坚持认为应保持due 的形容词地位.按照这一观点,说因为下雨,音乐会被取消了 是不正确的,而应说音乐会的取消是因为下雨 ,在后句中due 起形容词作用,修饰 cancellation
查了很多,没有发现due to 后跟that-从句的.
所以,
