误:The news is according to Hong Kong's broadcasting station.
这个句子错在哪里?有人认为句中的 according to 用得不妥,它不宜用作表语,是这样吗?
刘老师:
1. 是的,according to...可以充当状语,但不能用在 be 之后作表语。
2. 此外,according to 后面接的成分,一般是依据“章程,规则,规定,惯例,学说,理论等”,不跟表示“来源”之类的词语,如“广播电台”。
The news is according to Hong Kong's broadcasting station.
应改为:
The news comes from Hong Kong's broadcasting station.
The news is based on Hong Kong's broadcasting station.
