7 e# b V x: z: y5 K上大学时老师说,如果due to用于引出原因,通常是不好的事情。好的事情一般用thank to。我当时深以为然。* X7 C. h+ E: N' G; Q4 Z. o, f6 t: s

后来到了埃德蒙顿,发现很多场合,好的事情也用due to。比如,The success of our project was due to everyone's hard work.

due to 的用法,A就是错的,B就是对的。因为在B里,due to用来修饰loss,而在A里due to没有名词可以修饰。虽然大家都明白A说的意思,而且时常也能听到本地人这么说,但他还是错的。! h$ E2 i" E8 x3 {4 m9 V4 R
