Due to: Due to is also used adjectivally,and must have a noun to attach itself to: My failure,due to a long-term illness during the semester,was disappointing. (That is,the failure was attributable to the long-term illness,not the disappointment,which would have had other causes,such as the failure.)
Owing to: If an adverbial link is needed,the expression owing to has lost its exclusively adjectival quality: My failure was disappointing owing to a long-term illness during the semester. (In this case,the disappointment at the failure was caused by the long-term illness during the semester.)
(That is,the failure was attributable to the long-term illness,not the disappointment,which would have had other causes,such as the failure.) 这个句子没有看懂，那个which，是指disappointment吗？
也就是说due to要放在名词后面（形容词用法），而owing to可以放在副词后面但是会失去对前面名词的独占性。 My failure,due to a long-term illness during the semester,was disappointing. 我的失败，是因为这个学期长期生病，令人失望。 ●失败的原因是这学期长期生病。 (That is,the failure was attributable to the long-term illness,not the disappointment,which would have had other causes,such as the failure.) 也就是说，失败是由于这个学期长期生病，而不是令人失望引起的。而失败是失望的原因之一（失望除了失败之外还可能有其他原因。 ） *这句话翻了中文很绕口，但意思无非就是这个学期长期生病是失败的原因，但不是失望的原因。 My failure was disappointing owing to a long-term illness during the semester. 我的失败令人失望是由于这学期长期生病。 ●对于失败的失望的原因是这学期长期生病。
