一忌與第一人稱連用

按英語(yǔ)習(xí)慣，according to通常指的是根據(jù)別人或別處，而不能根據(jù)自己，所以它不能用于第一人稱，同時(shí)也很少用于第二人稱，而主要用于第三人稱，如：

正：According to him, she is not honest. 據(jù)他說(shuō)，她不誠(chéng)實(shí)。

誤：According to me, she is not honest.

二忌與表示觀點(diǎn)的詞語(yǔ)連用

according to后習(xí)慣上不接view(看法)和opinion(意見(jiàn))這類詞表示觀點(diǎn)或看法的詞，如：

依我看，這部電影很不錯(cuò)。

誤：According to my opinion, the film is wonderful.

正：In my opinion, the film is wonderful.

三忌直接后跟句子

according to是介詞，其后原則上只接名詞或代詞，不接句子。如：

According to the timetable, the train gets in at 8:27. 根據(jù)時(shí)刻表，火車8點(diǎn)27分進(jìn)站。

According to the traffic rules, you must stop at a red light. 依照交通法規(guī)，遇到紅燈必須停車。

When (it is) taken according to the instructions, the drug has no side effects. 若按說(shuō)明服用，本藥無(wú)任何副作用。

若接句子，則用according as。如(from www.yywords.com)：

Everyone contributes according as he is able. 每個(gè)人根據(jù)自己的能力作出貢獻(xiàn)。

注意，對(duì)于那些由what, which, whether, how, when, where等引導(dǎo)的句子，其前要用according to，不用according as。如：

He is an honest businessman, according to what everyone says. 根據(jù)大家所說(shuō)，他是位誠(chéng)實(shí)的商人。

The amount of tax people pay varies according to where they live. 居住地不同，人們所交的稅額也各不相同。

These apples have been graded according to how big they are. 這些蘋果已經(jīng)按照大小分了等級(jí)。

They were arranged according to when they happened. 它們是按發(fā)生的時(shí)間安排的。
