because of  因为

【例句】

◆ Later in the next century, people from England made voyages to conquer other parts of the world and because of that, English began to be spoken in many other countries.后来,下一个世纪(17世纪),英国人开始航海征服世界上的其他地方,于是,许多别的国家开始说英语了。(人教版,必修①, Unit 2)

◆ The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.或许是因为饥饿,那 头熊表现得不正常。(北京高考)

【辨析】 because和because of

两者意义相同,但because引导状语从句,而because of是介词词组,和后面的名词、代词或动名词连用,构成介词短语,在句中作状语。
