What nice people they are!
他们是多么好的人啊！
2.And because the had weather,we couldn't see anything below.

because of 和because均为“因为”的意思，两者区别在于前者是介词短语，后面右接名词、代词或名词性短语，而后者是连词，后面接句子。试比较：
I can't come to your,Denny,because I'm going away this weekend
丹尼，我参加不了你的聚会啦，因为这个周末我外出不在。（because之后为句子）
we can't play basketball outside today because of the rain.
