易混词辨析
accounts、account、count、explain、account for
1. accounts:名词复数 “账户;账目;描述”(如 “bank accounts”“financial accounts”“different accounts of the event”)或动词第三人称单数(“account” 的三单,如 “He accounts for the mistake”);
2. account:动词 “解释;占比”(①解释:“account for the delay”;②占比:“Account for 30% of sales”),名词 “账户;描述”(见上);
3. count:动词 “计数;重要”(①计数:“count the numbers”;②重要:“It counts”),名词 “计数;总数”(如 “a count of 10”),与 accounts(账户)含义无关;
4. explain:动词 “解释;说明”(如 “explain the reason”“explain how to do it”),比 account(解释义)更通用;
5. account for:短语 “解释;占比”(如 “account for the difference”“account for half the cost”),不可说 “explain for”。
