| 词组 | suspected |
| 释义 | suspected 1. The problem with suspected is the same as the problem with accused—it sometimes occurs with nouns like murderer and criminal: • ... those prisoners who are suspected war criminals —Robert H. Jackson, Report to the President, 7 June 1945, in Voices of History 1945-1946, ed. Nathan Ausubel, 1946 • ... a suspected dope peddler in California —The Americana Annual 1953 A suspected dope peddler is, of course, a person who is suspected of being a dope peddler, not a dope peddler who happens to be suspected of something. The use of suspected in this way is entirely idiomatic and does not appear to be a serious source of confusion, but it is apparently troubling to those who try to analyze idioms logically, and it has been cited with disapproval by the same critics who dislike the similar use of accused (which see). 2. When used with a preposition, suspected ordinarily takes of: • ... expel from the Army all officers suspected of complicity in the plot against him —William L. Shirer, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, 1960 • ... spent with the bravado of a man who suspected himself of infallibility —Israel Shenker, Smithsonian, September 1979 • ... no one had hitherto suspected him of statecraft —John Buchan, Augustus, 1937 • Sweeping down and surrounding a South Vietnamese village suspected of aiding ... the Vietcong — Senator Ernest Gruening & Herbert W. Beaser, in A Center Occasional Paper, June 1968 |
