The old musician decided to move to her country home _____ her advanced age and poor health.为何这道题要用on account of 不需要 by virtue of 呢?
The old musician decided to move to her country homeon account of her advanced age and poor health.
此题只可以用 on account of(因为;由于;由于...原故),表示“不利原因或缘由”。
而 by virtue of ,是“凭着”之意,表示“有益于本人的条件”。虽然能翻译成“由于”,其实是“凭着有利的原因”。而本题句子的意思是“因为年老体弱的原故”,是指不利原因。故此。
