l******o 发帖数: 298 | 1 Use due to meaning ‘because of' only in a phrase that modifies a noun,
never
in a phrase that modifies a verb. Allegedly not this:
Cooperation between the Department of Economics and the Business School and
between the Business School and the Law School will be much greater ten
years
from now than at present, due to the personal relations of the younger men
on
the three faculties.

这个due to 用的怎么不对了,根据第一句话的原则due to只能修饰一个名词不能修饰
一个动词,在这里due to修饰了the personal relations是一个名词啊,为什么就不对
了?
