1. 用于according to，意为“根据”，为复合介词，后接名词或代词。注意以下用法：
(1) 主要用来表示“根据”某学说、某书刊、某文件、某人所说等或表示“按照”某法律、某规定、某惯例、某情况等。如：
Everything went off according to plan. 一切都按照计划实现了。
According to my watch it is five o’clock. 照我的表，现在是5点钟。
Each man will be paid according to his ability. 每个人将根据他的能力获得报酬。
(2) according to 表示“根据”，通常是指根据别人或别处，而不能根据自己，所以其后不能接表示第一人称的代词（如me, us），同时也很少接表示第二人称的代词（you），但用于第三人称（如 him, her, Jim, Mary, the doctor等）则属正常用法。
