要注意：on account of ,because of ,due to , owing to , 和 thanks to 的用法比较
这一组词都表示"由于"的意思,在使用时应该注意以下区别：
1．because of意为"由于,因为",强调因果关系,在句中仅作状语,修饰句中的一部分,与其他成分不用逗号隔开.如：We must not get discouraged because of such a minor setback．
我们决不可因为这样一个小小的挫折而灰心丧气.
2．owing to与because of一样,也强调因果关系,除作状语外,也可作表语.作状语时修饰整个句子,可在句首或句末,用逗号隔开.如：
They decided to cancel the flight,owing to the storm．
由于这场暴风雨,他们决定取消这个航班.
His death was owing to an accident．他死于一场事故.
3．due to引出造成后果的原因,在句中作表语、状语和定语.作表语和状语时与owing to同义,作状语时,一般不与其他成分隔开.如：
This accident was due to（owing to）his careless driving．
这次车祸是由于他开车疏忽大意造成的.
He arrived late due to（owing to）the storm．由于暴风雨他来晚了.
Mistakes due to carelessness may have serious consequences．
由于疏忽大意造成的错误可能带来严重的后果.
4．on account of与because of,owing to同义,但语气较为正式.可作状语、表语,不作定语.如：
He could not come on account of his illness．他因病不能前来.
That was on account of lack of exercise．那是由于缺乏锻炼.
5．thanks to表示"幸亏,多亏"多用于表达正面意思,相当于感谢,在句中作状语和表语.如：
Thanks to your advice,much trouble was saved．
多亏你的建议,减少了许多麻烦.
