不能。
due to(由于)只能引导形容词短语,不能引导状语短语。due to是个短语介词,其后接名词或代词,在句中用作表语,意思是“应归于,应属于,应给予”(在美式英语中往往省略be)。也可用作状语,说明谓语动词所表示动作的原因。due to还可用于名词之后作后置定语。
due 读法 英 [djuː] 美 [duː]
adj. 到期的;预期的;应付的;应得的;恰当的,适当的
n. 应付款;应得之物
adv. 正(置于方位词前)
词语用法:
1、due还可作“定于某时到达”解,这时在句中可用作表语,其后常接at〔in〕介词短语。due之后常接动词不定式,意思是“预定某时做某事”。due无比较级和最高级。
2、due用在词组in due course(依照顺序)和in due time(在适当的时候)中不加定冠词the。in due course of time和in due time意思相同,但用的很少;
3、the amount due to you(欠你的款项)等表达方式里的介词to在美式英语中通常省去;词组the amount due表示“欠着的款项”,the due amount表示“适当的款项”;
词义辨析:
thanks to, owing to, because of, due to这组词都有“由于”的意思,其区别是:
1、thanks to突出一种感激之情,含“多亏”意味。
2、owing to可以和due to换用,但在句中多作状语,也可作表语。
3、because of着重某种原因的理由,在句中通常作状语。
4、due to用于较庄重的书面语中,侧重“起因于”,在句中多作表语,有时作状语。
在标准英语里,due to只能用以引导形容词短语,不可引导副词短语。例如:
Our delay was due to heavy traffic.
Mistakes due to carelessness may have serious consequences.
在例中,due to引导的短语在句中作表语,用在 verb“to be”之后;在第二例中,due to引导的短语作定语,修饰前面的主语mistakes.主张语言纯正者(purists)认为,due to不能引导副词短语;
因此,下列句中的 due to应改为 owing to或 because of:Due to ill health,he could not attend the meeting,由于健康不佳,他不能参加会议。
形容词的语法特征
形容词在句中主要充当定语和谓语。例如:
作定语:大树 红太阳 年轻侍者 皎洁的月光 丰满的脸蛋 粗壮的腰
作谓语:品行端正 论述简洁 描写生动 语言含蓄 态度委婉 观点陈旧
形容词一般不能带宾语,但有些性质形容词也表示动态,具备动词的某些特性,可以带宾语。带上宾语以后,就成了“动词”。这类能够带宾语的形容词属于兼有形容词和动词功能的兼类词。

在标准英语里,due to只能用以引导形容词短语,不可引导副词短语。例如:

在第一例中,due to引导的短语在句中作表语,用在 verb“to be”之后;在第二例中,due to引导的短语作定语,修饰前面的主语mistakes.主张语言纯正者(purists)认为,due to不能引导副词短语,因此,下列句中的 due to应改为 owing to或 because of:
Due to ill health,he could not attend the meeting
由于健康不佳,他不能参加会议。
事实上,在现代英语中,due to也经常用以引导副词短语,下面数句均摘自英美刊物:
Due to the weather,the flight was cancelled.
He failed due to carelessness.
The population of Pennsylvania increased from 50,000 in 1730 to more than 200,000 in 1763,due in large part to the thousands of Scotch-Irish.
…in America,where women began to predominate from pioneer times,due to their scarcity and greater demands.
由于,应归于
后不加从句
例如句子“比赛因为下雨而推迟了.”可以翻译成:
the
game's
postponement
was
due
to
that
it
was
raining.
这一句有点别扭,我们一般听到的是:
the
game's
postponement
was
due
to
the
fact
that
it
was
raining.
但是实际上这太繁复了,不如直接用because写:
the
game
was
postponed
because
it
was
raining.
如果想用
"due
to",正确的用法是:
the
game's
postponement
was
due
to
rain.
