二、核心短语回顾
1. Thanks to由于;多亏(有时用作反语);因为
【教材原句】Thanks to his research, the UN has more tools in the battle to rid the world of hunger.
【归纳拓展】
thanks to是介词短语,因此后面可以跟名词或动词-ing形式而不可以跟从句。如:
①Thanks to your help, we were successful. 由于你的帮助,我们成功了。
②Thanks to you, I was saved from drowning. 多亏你,我才没被淹死。
③Thanks to the bad weather, the match had been cancelled. 由于这倒霉的天气,比赛被取消了。
【明辨异同】
表示“因为,由于”的短语还有:because of,owing to,on account of,due to,as a result of等。
(1)thanks to表示“幸亏,多亏,依靠;由于,因为”,是介词短语,只能作状语,多用于褒义。
(2)due to意为“因为,由于”,可以作表语或状语,不能位于句首。be due to do sth.意为“被安排去做某事”。
(3)owing to意为“由于”,多用作状语,作状语时常用逗号隔开。
(4)because of语气最强,多用于表示直接原因。一般放在主句之后,有时也可放在主句之前。
[即学即练]
(1)单项填空
①It was ________ your timely help that we accomplished the task on time.
A. because B. thank C. thanks to D. as
②________ the new policy, we are now having a happy life.
A. Thanks to B. Because C. For D.Thanks for
【答案】
①C 句意:幸亏你及时的帮助,我们才能按时完成任务。because是连词,后面要跟句子;thank是动词,句中已经有系动词was,所以在此不能用;as表“因为”是连词。故选C项。
(2)用thanks to,due to,owing to,because of填空
