四级相似词语区别和使用:according as和according to
according as,according to

这两个词组虽然相似,但它们的结构和使用场合并不相同。according to表示根据、按照而according as表示视乎,有depending及according to whether的意味。
According as是连词词组,其后接从句;according to 是介词短语,其后接名词。例:
The thermometer rises or falls according to the high or low temperature.
寒暑表根据气温的高低而升降。
They will be praised or blamed according as their work is good or bad.
给他们的赏罚将视乎他们工作的好坏来决定。
应当在此指出,在现代英语中,according as的`句型结构已很少有人使用,正如 Bergen Evans和 Cornelia Evans在A Dictionary of Contemporary American Usage 中指出的那样:This construction is not often heard today。
下面是according to的例句:
According to the weather report,we shall have cold weather next week.
根据天气报告,下星期天气将要转冷。
You should act according to circumstances.你们要随机应变。
According to有个同义短语,即 in accordance with,但它们的涵义有细微的区别,前者强调根据所言,后者则强调与要一致。另外 in accordance with多用于正式场合,例如表示与一些原则、规律一致。例:
