问
According to the regulations that have been published lately, all radio recorders are subject on import duty. (全国研考) 请分析上面的试题。
答
首先应当记住,形容词 subject 用作表语时,不能单独使用,必须与介词 to 连用,因此,应当把(be)subject to(受……支配,受……约束,易受……的)当作一个单位来记忆。例如:
- We are all subject to the laws of nature. (COD) 我们大家都受自然规律的支配。
- The employees are subject to the rules and regulations of the company. (MD) 雇员要服从 公司的规章制度。
- Such conduct is subject to criticism. 这种行为容易遭到批评。 及物动词 subject 也与介词 to 连用。subject...to = 使……受到;使……服从:
- He subjected us to a very difficult test. (ELD) 他让我们经受了很困难的考验。
- He was subjected to severe criticism. (Chambers) 他遭到了严厉的批评。
- He was subjected to the harshest possible punishment. (EED) 他受到了可能是最严厉的惩罚。
