CHINAROSE

OG说DUE TO 和ATTRIBUTABLE TO 差不多，和BECASUE不一样，有没有哪位前辈了解其中的差别？谢谢

due to=because of  后面加名词
because后加句子

郎文：
as due is an adjective, due to should really be used only after nouns.
e.g. his absence was due to the storm.
      his illness was due to bad food.

although it is now often used after verbs as well (in sentences like He arrived late due to
the storm) teachers prefer owing to or because of in these cases.

不知道是不是存在这样的差异：
due to “归因于”，具有主观的成分
because “因为”，相对客观一些

请大家讨论。

了解了：）
谢谢三位从语法和意思上的解释。

"due to teh fact" can be followed by a clause, eg.
Due to the fact that there r too many ambushes in Iraq, Bush had only stayed there for 3 hours.  Haaaaa, isn't the word "ambush" funny?

以下是引用gemj在2003-11-14 1:21:00的发言：
"because" and "due to"
一个是连词，后面跟句子，一个是介词词组，后面跟名词。

我想问的是关于due to的省略问题.请问下面哪些话是对的:

Our declining health is more due to the polluted air than due to the polluted water. 

Our declining health is more due to the polluted air than to the polluted water.                                             省略due

Our declining health is more due to the polluted air than the polluted water.                                                  省略due to

按照ets得意思该是

Our declining health is more due to the polluted air than due to the polluted water.
