Furthermore,the air quality in cities is often poor, due to pollution from traffic, and the streets and public transport systems are usually overcrowded. 在我知識範圍內(雖然很小) due to是介詞 不能直接加上主詞(pollution + systems)和動詞(are) 應該用連接詞because才對 是句子錯還是我錯了?
due to跟because of可以互相替換意思差不多。這兩個後面都是接原因,所以這句裡面pollution from traffic就是這個"原因",要把它們看成一組而非分開的三個詞。如果是我我會這樣標點:Furthermore, the air quality incities is often poor due to pollution from traffic;and the streets and public transport systems are usually overcrowded. 這樣看比較順。
