外企会议或英文辩论赛中，很多人会习惯用"According to me..."开头，但英文里其实并没有according to me这种说法。

因为according to后面跟的是一种客观的依据。所以不能用according to me／us，也不用according to you。但如果是according to the doctor（或人名）就没有问题。

另外，既是客观陈述，according to就不接view（看法）和opinion（意见）这些有主观成份的字眼。真想说依据我的看法，要用in my opinion。

请看：

就我的看法，这是很可靠的投资。

According to me, it is a very sound investment.　（X）

According to my opinion, it is a very sound investment.（X）

In my opinion, it is a very sound investment.（√）

“according to”适合很多场景，只要注意使用的时候不要踩以上的坑就可以了。例如：

Philip stayed at the hotel, according to Mr Hemming.

据亨明先生所说，菲利普住在旅馆里。

They can get on with running the school system according to their own lights and in their own interests.

他们可以继续按照自己的想法，依据自己的利益来管理学校系统。

According to the prosecution, the officers manufactured an elaborate story

根据控方意见，官员们精心编造了事情经过。

Answer a fool according to his folly.以其人之道，还治其人之身。

千万注意：

according to句型其后接成分不能是人称代词宾格，但是，可以接第三人称代词：

According to him,she is not honest.据他说，她是一个不诚实的人。

例外，according to如需要接一个句子时，则用according as,如：

Everyone contributes according as he is able.每个人根据自己的能力作出自己的贡献。

但是，如果后接的句子是由what,whether,how,when,where等引导的，只能用according to，不能用according as,如：

He is an honest businessman,according to what everyone says.

根据大家所说，他是一个诚实的商人。

The amount of tax people pay waries according to where they live.

These apples have been graded according to how big they are.
