A due,due to,owing to,certain,sure,bound,confidentdue用于指时间,和动词不定式连用:
The race is due to start in ten minutes.
还有十分钟赛马就该开始了。
但due也可以单独使用:
The plane was due(in)at six.It is an hour overdue.
飞机应该是6点到,现在已误点一小时了。
due to(介词)意为是的结果,由于:
The accident was due to carelessness.
这起车祸是由粗心造成的。
owing to意为由于,因为:
Owing to his carelessness we had an accident.
由于他的粗心大意,我们出了车祸。
due to必须置于主语+动词之后,但英国人常常粗心大意地在句首应该使用owing to时错用了due to。
certain和sure与动词不定式连用,表达说话人的判断。bound也可用在此处:
Tom is certain/sure/bound to win.
汤姆肯定会赢。(说话人对此很有把握。)
但是主语+certain/sure+that从句结构则表达主语的判断:Tom is sure that he will win.
汤姆确信他能获胜。(汤姆对于获胜有十分把握。)
confident that如上面所说可代替certain/sure that,但confi-dent不能放在动词不定式之前。
