【问】 Did Claude admit_______ the money?

A. to borrowing B. it to borrow

C. borrowing to D. was borrowed

试题是否有误?要知道admit是个及物动词呀!

【答】 admit可用作及物动词：

1. I admit seeing it. (CGEL)

我承认看见了。

2. He admitted having done wrong. (NAECD)

他承认做错了。

但是，admit to也是正确的用法，如上面试题的选项A：

1. He admitted to doing his bit. (CGEL)

他承认他尽了自己的力量。

2. I must admit to feeling ashamed of my conduct. (NAECD)

我必须承认我为自己的行为感到羞愧。
