二、语法特点
1. 表示因某事而控告、指控、指责某人，通常用accuse sb of (doing) sth，其中的介词of doing sth不能改为for doing sth，也不能换成to do sth。
2. 其后不能接that从句或动名词作宾语，如不能将“他们控告他受贿”译作 They accused (him) that he took bribes. / They accused his taking bribes. 可改作They accused him of taking bribes.
3. 若表示“指控某人为…”，则用介词as：They accused him as an accomplice. 他们指控他为从犯。
4. the accused指“被告”，可指一人或多人，用作主语时，谓语视具体情况使用单数或复数：The accused was a girl. 被告是个女孩。/ Two of the accused were sentenced to imprisonment. 有两个被告被判监禁。
