accordingto(accordingtoareview完型填空)

外企會議或英文辯論賽中，很多人會習慣用"According to me..."開頭，但英文里其實并沒有according to me這種說法。

因為according to后面跟的是一種客觀的依據。所以不能用according to me／us，也不用according to you。但如果是according to the doctor（或人名）就沒有問題。

另外，既是客觀陳述，according to就不接view（看法）和opinion（意見）這些有主觀成份的字眼。真想說依據我的看法，要用in my opinion。

請看：

就我的看法，這是很可靠的投資。

According to me, it is a very sound investment.　（X）

According to my opinion, it is a very sound investment.（X）

In my opinion, it is a very sound investment.（√）

“according to”適合很多場景，只要注意使用的時候不要踩以上的坑就可以了。例如：

Philip stayed at the hotel, according to Mr Hemming.

據亨明先生所說，菲利普住在旅館里。

They can get on with running the school system according to their own lights and in their own interests.

他們可以繼續按照自己的想法，依據自己的利益來管理學校系統。

According to the procution, the officers manufactured an elaborate story

根據控方意見，官員們精心編造了事情經過。

Answer a fool according to his folly.以其人之道，還治其人之身。

千萬注意：

according to句型其后接成分不能是人稱代詞賓格，但是，可以接第三人稱代詞：

According to him,she is not honest.據他說，她是一個不誠實的人。

例外，according to如需要接一個句子時，則用according as,如：

Everyone contributes according as he is able.每個人根據自己的能力作出自己的貢獻。

但是，如果后接的句子是由what,whether,how,when,where等引導的，只能用according to，不能用according as,如：

He is an honest businessman,according to what everyone says.

根據大家所說，他是一個誠實的商人。

The amount of tax people pay waries according to where they live.

人們的納稅額根據他們居住的地方而有所不同。

The apples have been graded according to how big they are.

這些蘋果已按大小分級。
