According to更常用来说明消息来源。“据。。。所说,。。。” 这里可以说:“根据这些条件(所说,所表现,所证明),这些钱用来投资到这些公司”么?这些标准并不能支持投资的行为是否正确,而是需要投资到那些符合这些标准的公司上去。
D的意思是基金筛选出那些符合以下条件的公司。 大家不要用中文来理解这句话,尽量自己用according to, in accordance with造几个句子,回来再看这句话就会豁然开朗。我也是一直想不通,今天仔细看了大家的讨论,觉得GMAC考的就是商业中的常用用法,至于according to, in accordance with某些情况下可以互换的意思大家一般就不需要考虑了。
last year in the United States, over $2 trillion was invested in funds that screen companies...这里的that应该是定语从句指代funds,简化一下就变成funds screen companies!!! funds如何screen companies,我同意前面一些NN的讲法这里的是screen是“审查”意,但是无论如何逻辑上都不通。最起码也应该是funds that are used to screen companies吧
这题意思要说Socially and environmentally responsible investing is on the rise,接下来强调over $2 trillion was invested,与such a variety of criteria as相一致,“这么大额的投资”与“这么多的标准”相对应吧。
《特快专递详情单》 4. EMS item should be packed for its safety in accordence with the Regulations of Posts.
5. The postage will be charged according to the total weights of the item (including the weights of contents, labels and packaging materials).
看来,以上两个单词的用法,还是不同的。前一个是:“与。。。一致”;后一个,则是“根据。。。”
Socially and environmentally responsible investing is on the rise: last year in the United States, over $2 trillion was invested in funds that screen companies in accordance with such a variety of criteria as adherence to labor standards, protection of the environment, and observance of human rights.
本句中:对比其中的criteria 和 第4条里的the Regulations of Posts.还是有一些相似之处,用in accordance with 还是有道理的;不仅仅是我在上一楼中,所述的according位置原因。
