核心问题
according to 与 according as 有无区别?
词典解答
应当弄清楚, according to 中的 to 是介词, 而 according as 中的 as 是连词, 因此前者是复合介词, 与名词、代词、动名词连用, 而后者是复合连词, 引导从句。请对比下列实例:
-
According to this book a tiger is really a big cat. (Thorndike) 按照这本书的说法,老虎实际上就是一种大猫。
-
The thermometer rises or falls according as the air is hot or cold. 寒暑表随空气的热冷而升降。
-
You will be praised or blamed according as your work is good or bad. (ALD) 你将依照你工作的好坏而受到奖惩。
