google了一篇讲解,我想这里应取以下第一个意思:
"对中国学生来说,be subject to是个难点。它有三个意思。
1一是be likely to be affected by sth,especially sth bad or unpleasant,相当于“容易遭受…”和“容易受…影响”。例如:肥胖者容易得心脏病。Obese people are subject to heart attacks.
2 be subject to sth的第二个意思是be dependent on sth in order to be completed or agreed,相当于“取决于”和“视…而定”。例如:这篇文章准备好了,可以发表,就等你同意了。The article is ready to publish, subject to your approval.
3 be subject to sth的第三个意思是be under the authority of sth,相当于“服从于”、“受…支配”和“受…管辖”。例如:警察也须遵守法律。The police are also subject to the law." |
