问题: "with focus on" 可以这么用吗?

请看看我的用法有没有问题?

I chose this college to continue my study due to the wide spectrum of research topics it covers with focus on 某某方面.

解答:

首先,是个病句。

due to the wide spectrum of research topics it covers with focus on 把due to换成owing to更好,不换当然也凑合。

关键在于topics后面又用了it, 应该换成which或者that,形成定语从句。不管是due to还是owing to后面不能接句子的,只能是名词和修饰名词的定语从句。

最后focus本身就可以用作动词。不需要cover

句子改成:I chose this college to continue my study owing to its wide spectrum of research topics which focus on 某某方面.

(这里which指代research topics,毕竟不是范围集中于,而是研究课题关注于,集中于)
