【解析】

ing to

1)主要用来表示“根据”某学说、某书刊、某文件、某人所说等或表示“按照”某法律、某规定、某惯例、某情况等。

According to the radio, it will rain tomorrow.
据之声广播,明天有雨。

2)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, Jim, Mary, the doctor 等)则属正常用法。

误:According to me, the film is wonderful.
正:In my opinion, the film is wonderful.
依我看,这部电影很不错。

3)according as与according toaccording to的用法区别

①according to是介词,其后原则上只接名词或代词,不接句子。若接句子,则用according as。
Everyone contributes according as he is able.
每个人根据自己的能力作出贡献。

②但对于那些由what, which, whether, how, when, where等引导的句子,其前要用according to,不用according as
He is an honest businessman, according to what everyone says.
根据大家所说,他是位诚实的商人。

2)adv.垂直地

3)n.垂直;竖立;竖钢琴
