我搜了一下阅读大全，发现有这样的用法The government will be forced to admit its responsibility for the inadequacy of existing political institutions.

这里面admit 是及物的啊，这到题看了四遍了，还是不懂

以下是引用tulipmontreal在2004-6-10 16:30:00的发言：

admit their lack should be admit to their lack

请看: transitive senses
1 a
            : to allow scope for : PERMIT <admits no possibility of misunderstanding> b
            : to concede as true or valid <admitted making a mistake>
2
            : to allow entry (as to a place, fellowship, or privilege) <an open window had admitted rain> <admitted to the club>
intransitive senses1
            : to give entrance or access
2 a
            : ALLOW, PERMIT <admits of two interpretations> b
            : to make acknowledgment -- used with to

这里现在可以看出用ADMIT TO了.

According above explanation, I think admit sth./doing means someone is forced to make acknowledgment, while admit to sth./doing means that someone makes acknowledgment subjectively.

any new ideas?

有嗎?
OG11(yellow)#68的explanation沒有提到admit的用法...

根据朗文
admit to sth/ admit sth 通用

似乎admit to sth更常用
