“accompany sth by sth” 用法详解

在英语中，“accompany” 是一个常用动词，意为“伴随、陪同、附带”。当它与 “by” 连用构成 “accompany something by something” 结构时，通常表示某事伴随着另一件事发生或出现。

基本结构

accompany + 名词/代词 + by + 名词/动名词

注意：这种结构在正式书面语中较为常见，但在现代英语中更常使用 “accompany something with something”。

含义说明

• 表示“某事物伴随另一事物一同出现”。
• 强调两个事物同时存在或发生，通常后者是对前者的补充、说明或伴随现象。

经典例句

1. The announcement was accompanied by loud applause.
2. Her speech was accompanied by a slide presentation.
3. The meal was accompanied by fine wine.
4. The protest was accompanied by chants and banners.

常见误区

❌ 错误：She accompanied the song by dancing.
✅ 正确：She accompanied the song with dancing. 或 She danced while singing.

说明：“accompany by” 通常用于被动语态（be accompanied by），主动语态中更常用 “accompany with”。

小结

“Be accompanied by” 是标准且自然的表达；而主动语态中若想表达“用……来伴随”，建议使用 “accompany something with something”。掌握这一区别，能让你的英语更地道、更准确。
