例 2：We won’t go to work because of the typhoon. 因為颱風的關係，我們明天不工作了。
due to 因為/由於
duto to 後面加名詞，前面則是名詞+ Be 動詞或是一個完整的句子。
[a] 名詞+ Be動詞+ due to
例：The delay was due to heavy traffic. 這個延遲是交通組塞造成的。
[b] 完整句子 + due to
例： The plane was grounded due to fog. 這飛機因為霧的關係而停飛了
owing to 因為/由於
owing to 和 because of 一樣都是介係詞。 owing to 前面也必須是一個完整的句子，或是放在句首

though
1. 在句首作為連接詞使用
Though 出現在句首時：
Though Malta is a very small island, its history is long and rich.
雖然Malta是個非常小的島嶼，卻有著雄厚且古老的歷史。
Malta, though small, has a long and rich history.
Malta，雖然是個小島嶼，卻有著雄厚且古老的歷史。
Though 緊接著形容詞時：
Small though the island is, Malta has a long and rich history.
雖然這個島嶼非常小，Malta卻有著雄厚且古老的歷史。
2. Though 出現在句尾時：
E.g. “I already ate. Thanks, though!”
例句：我已經吃飽了。但無論如何還是謝謝你(的好意)了！
在上述的例句中，though被當作無論如何、不管怎樣、或但是的意思。我們會用 though或anyway加thank you來表示感謝，即使某件事已經沒有完成的必要性或已無法完成。我們再來看看下一個例句：
Speaker 1: Would you like something to drink?
甲：你想要喝點什麼嗎？
Speaker 2: I’ve just had some water. Thanks, though! / I’ve just had some water.Thanks anyway!
乙：我剛才喝過水了。無論如何，還是謝謝你了！/我剛才喝過水了。不管怎樣還是謝謝你！
3. Though 用來代替 however 或 but
E.g. “I do not usually drink coffee, though I’ve had 2 cups today.”
例句：我不常喝咖啡，然而今天已經喝兩杯了。
當though出現在逗點的後面、句子的中間，它的意思就如同but或however。在這種情況下，though、although、but用來表示你正在進行平時不常做的事情。有時，though也可能出現在句尾來表達和上述相同的情形：
“I don’t usually drink coffee. I’ve had 2 cups today though.”
我不常喝咖啡，然而今天已經喝了兩杯。
*However is a more formal way of saying ‘but’
*However是but較為正式的說法。
4. Though和as用在一起時
E.g. “He acted as though he were angry.”
例句：他表現的好像在生氣。
As though這個片語在上列句子的用法就同like，用以表達好像、似乎。我們再來看看其他例句：
It looked as though it was going to rain.
看起來好像快下雨了。
It looked like it was going to rain.
看起來好像快下雨了。
上述兩個例句的意思完全相同，你可以依照個人喜好使用 though 或 like！
Though 出現在句首時：
Though Malta is a very small island, its history is long and rich.
雖然Malta是個非常小的島嶼，卻有著雄厚且古老的歷史。

need of ,need for 用法上有什麽區別
need of food 需要食物
need for food 帶有已經餓了的意思，時間上迫切一點.
如果在 need 前面有介詞 in， 用 need of，即 in need of, 如：We should help those in need of help. 我們應該幫助那些需要幫助的人。
