on account of意思：由于; 基于。on account of adv. 由于; 基于; 例句：①The flight was postponed on account of bad weather.因为天气恶劣，飞行延期了。②The match was postponed on account of the weather. 基于天气关系，比赛延期进行。辨析：on account of 和 because of。①because of意为：由于,因为，强调因果关系，在句中仅作状语，修饰句中的一部分，与其他成分不用逗号隔开。如：We must not get discouraged because of such a minor setback.我们决不可因为这样一个小小的挫折而灰心丧气。②on account of与because of 同义，但on account of语气较为正式。可作状语、表语，不作定语。如： He could not come on account of his illness.他因病不能前来。
