老师原来说,because 后接句子,引导原因状语从句;because of 后接名词或代词,引导介词短语表原因。但今天老师又说,because of 后面有时也可接从句,如what引导的从句,因为what 引导的从句相当于一个名词,所以可以接在because of的后面。
但我想,名词性从句不是都相当于名词吗?难道 because of 后面可以接所有的名词性从句啊?请问专家老师,because of后面除接 what 引导的从句外,还可接哪些从句?
从理论上讲,because of跟其他介词一样,之后可以接wh-word引导的名词性从句。不过,because of后面主要接what引导的从句,因为这时的what是一个“复合连接代词”,表示“说的话”、“做的事”等,没有疑问的含义。除此之外,我也见过because of后由who, when, how, where等wh-word引导的从句。例如:
I love you, not because of who you are, but because of when I am with you. 我爱你,不是因为你是一个怎样的人,而是因为和你在一起时的感觉。
The drought is so serious not because of how long it has lasted but because of when it started. 干旱如此严重,倒不是因为它持续时间有多长,而主要是因为它来得太早。
Above all, Wikipedia's growth shows that lots of basic information can be exchanged by people who know things because of where they live, their hobbies or their education. 最重要的是,维基百科的成长表明,许多基本信息能在人们之间交流,由于人们生活的地方、兴趣爱好或所受的教育不同,因此知道不同的事情。

because of 后主要接 what 从句。如:
He knew she was crying because of what he had said. 他知道她哭是因为他说的话。
I’m pissed at him because of what he’s been saying about me 我生他的气,因为他一直在说我。
I hope you won’t get into trouble because of what I said to your dad. 我希望你不会因为我对你爸爸说的那些话而惹麻烦。
People matter because of what they are, not what they have. 人之所以重要,不在于他们拥有什么,而在于他们是什么样的人。
