because of后可接动名词吗？

because of后面通常是接名词或代词。如：

He is here because of you. 他为你而来这里。

He was late because of the snow. 由于下崐雪，他迟到了。

I can’t buy it because of my lack of money. 我不能买它是因为没钱。

但because of后面可接动名词吗？请举例说明，谢谢！

若语义需要，because of后面完全可以接动名词。如：

He was feeling unhappy because of being separated from other people.

He was feeling unhappy because of having no money to buy what he liked.

有时动名词前还可以有其逻辑主语。如：

I said nothing about it, because of his wife’s being there.
