according to用法宝典

according to用法宝典

一、基本用法

主要用来表示“根据”某学说、某书刊、某文件、某人所说等或表示“按照”某法律、某规定、某惯例、某情况等。如：

According to the radio, it will rain tomorrow. 据电台广播，明天有雨。

According to English law he is innocent. 按照英国法律他是无辜的。

They must cut their coats according to their cloth. 他们必须量布裁衣。

Each man will be paid according to his ability. 每个人将根据他的能力获得报酬。

According to John, there will be a meeting next week. 据约翰说，下星期要开一个会。

二、易错提醒

1. according to 表示“根据”，通常是指根据别人或别处，而不能根据自己，所以其后不能接表示第一人称的代词，同时也很少接表示第二人称的代词，但用于第三人称则属正常用法。如：

误：According to me, the film is wonderful.

正：In my opinion, the film is wonderful. 依我看，这部电影很不错。

2. 注意：according to 后也不接 view 和 opinion这类词表示看法的词。如：

误：According to my opinion, he did it very well.

正：In my opinion, he did it very well. 在我看来，他干得很不错。

三、according to与according as

according to是介词，其后原则上只接名词或代词，不接句子。若接句子，则用according as。如：

Everyone contributes according as he is able. 每个人根据自己的能力作出贡献。

但是注意：对于那些由what, which, whether, how, when, where等引导的句子，其前要用according to，不用according as。如：

He is an honest businessman, according to what everyone says. 根据大家所说，他是位诚实的商人。

The amount of tax people pay varies according to where they live. 居住地不同，人们所交的税额也各不相同。

These apples have been graded according to how big they are. 这些苹果已经按照大小分了等级。

They were arranged according to when they happened. 它们是按发生的时间安排的。
