[править]- из-за, вследствие, благодаря, по причине ◆ The homeward march being somewhat tardy, — owing to the un-soldierlike behaviour of certain corporals, who, being gentlemen of sedentary pursuits in private life and excitable out of doors, broke several windows with their bayonets, and rendered it imperative on the commanding officer to deliver them over to a strong guard, with whom they fought at intervals as they came along, — it was nine o’clock when the locksmith reached home. Ч. Диккенс, «Barnaby Rudge», 1841 г.
