| 释义 | accompany When accompany is used in the passive voice, notes Whitford & Foster 1937, "by is nearly always used unless the idea is that of combining or supplementing." Shaw 1962 repeats their view. Bernstein 1965 specifies "with (things), by (persons)" and several later commentators echo him. None of these statements are quite right. Accompanied by is the usual form, regardless of the situation; by is always used with persons and is usual with things. Accompanied with is limited to things, but citations of it are both markedly less frequent and older; most recent use shows by in all cases. Here are some typical examples: • ... children should be accompanied by an adult — Karla Kuskin, N. Y. Times Book Rev., 11 Nov. 1979 • ... sudden arguments would flare up accompanied by much cussing and finger jabbing —Richard M. Levine, Harper's, April 1971 • The use of violence is accompanied by anger, hatred and fear, or by exultant malice and conscious cruelty —Aldous Huxley, Ends and Means, 1937 • Any inflammation or infection of the diaphragm will be accompanied by a shortness of breath —Morris Fishbein, The Popular Medical Encyclopedia, 1946 • Just how far the fact of uniformity is accompanied by a sense of equality —John Dewey, Freedom and Culture, 1939 • ... a lofty mountain ... from the top of which a sulphurous vapour, accompanied sometimes by smoke and flames —Sir James G. Frazer, Aftermath, 1937 • ... has accompanied her appealing, precise, pastel-colored drawings with some equally sprightly verse —George A. Woods, N. Y. Times Book Rev., 19 Sept. 1954 • ... his delivery is impassioned and accompanied with emphatic gestures —Current Biography 1947 • Putting up the ridge-pole was accompanied with a swig of rum —American Guide Series: New Hampshire, 1938 |
