in view of和with a view to有何分別?

(1) in view of即taking into account,或not forgetting,或considering,意為「考慮到」、「鑒於」或「由於」,例如:

In view of Tom's having promised a quick answer, we have decided to wait awhile.

鑒於阿湯答應很快會答覆,我們決定等一下。
(2) with a view to即calculating upon as a desired result,或in order to,意為「指望於」或「為了」,例如:

We have established the institute with a view to diffusing scientific knowledge.

為了傳播科學知識,我們成立這個機構。
