核心问题
Did Claude admit ____ the money? A. to borrowing B. it to borrow C. borrowing to D. was borrowed
答案为 A。试题是否有误？要知道 admit 是个及物动词呀！
词典解答
admit 可用作及物动词：
-
I admit seeing it. (CGEL) 我承认看见了。
-
He admitted having done wrong. (NAECD) 他承认做错了。
但是, admit to 也是正确的用法, 如上面试题的选项 A:
-
He admitted to doing his bit. (CGEL) 他承认他尽了自己的力量。
-
I must admit to feeling ashamed of my conduct. (NAECD) 我必须承认我为自己的行为感到羞愧。
