四六级重点词汇正误讲解（04）

accomplish

◎铁路何时竣工?

误：When will the railway be accomplished?

正：When will the railway be completed?

析：accomplish 表示“完成”、“实现”等，其对象通常是 task (任务)，aim(目的)，plan(计划)，mission(使命)，journey(旅程)等含义较为抽象的东西。它一般不用于建筑、书籍等具体的东西。

◎他是一位有造诣的学者。

误：He is an accomplishing scholar.

正：He is an accomplished scholar.

析：表示“有造诣的”、“有成就的”、“熟练的”、“有技巧的”等，accomplish 要用过去分词(实际上已转化为形容词)。

accordance

◎他的所作所为是完全合法的。

误：What he did is quite in the accordance with the law.

正：What he did is quite in accordance with the law.

析：in accordance with(与...一致，按照...)是固定短语，其中 不用冠词。如：He was buried in home town, in accordance with his wishes.(按照他的意愿，他被葬在家乡)。

according

◎你将依照你工作的好坏而受到奖惩。

误：You will be praised or blamed according to your work is good or bad.

正：You will be praised or blamed according as your work is good or bad.

析：according to 和according as 均可表示“根据”、“按照” 等，但前者相当于介词，后接相当于名词代词的成分；后者相当于连词，用以引导句子。

◎依我看, 这没有一点是真实的。

误：According to me, none of this is true.

误：According to my opinion, none of this is true.

正：In my opinion, none of this is true. (from www.46english.com)

析：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(如me, us), 同时也很少接表示第二人称的代词(you)，但用于第三人称(如 him, her, John, Mary, the doctor 等)则属正常用法；另外也不 接 view(看法)和 opinion(意见)这类词表示看法的词。

◎这本书是根据一个真实故事写的。

误：The book is according to a true story.

正：The book is based on a true story.

析：表示“根据”、“按照”时, 主要用来引出状语, 一般不用来引出表语；但是当它表示“合乎”、“符合”时, 则主要用来引出表语：Isn’t it according to international law? (这难道不符合国际法吗?)
