On account of意思

"On account of" 是一個英語短語,意思是「由於」、「因為」,通常用來引出導致某種結果或情況的原因。例如:

  1. The meeting was cancelled on account of the bad weather. (會議因惡劣天氣而被取消。)

  2. I couldn't attend the party on account of work commitments. (由於工作承諾,我不能參加聚會。)

  3. The school closed on account of the power failure. (學校因停電而關閉。)

這個短語通常用於正式或較為正式的場合,但在日常對話中,人們更可能使用更簡單的表達,如 "because of" 或 "due to"。例如:

  1. The flight was delayed because of the heavy rain. (由於大雨,航班延誤了。)

  2. I missed the concert due to a family emergency. (由於家庭緊急情況,我錯過了音樂會。)

這些表達方式在日常英語中更為常見,但在正式的書面語中,"on account of" 仍然是一個恰當且常用的短語。
