in view of是哪种状语

问题描述

In view of their later start and their lack of coal—undoubtedly the main reason they were not among the early industrializers—it is important to understand the sources of their success.这句话中in view of是什么状语？方面状语还是原因状语？

老师答疑

刘老师：

in view of 有两层意思：

1. 由于；鉴于，考虑到

2. 在看得见…的地方；在…能看见的范围内

前者引导的词组是原因状语；后者引导的词组是地点状语。比较：

In view of our long business relation, we do not object to another negotiation. 考虑到我们的长期业务关系，我们不反对再次与贵方洽谈。

We came in view of the village before noon.  中午前我们已走到离村不远，看得见村子了。

你的句子是前者的用法。
