2
v.指责，谴责（accuse sb. of doing sth.）

语感
accuse = 把责任朝某人指过去——介词固定用 of，被动式 be accused of 最高频
指控（正式/法律）指责，谴责（非正式）
陷阱
⚠️accuse sb. of（介词 of，不说 accuse sb. for）
✗
The whistleblower accused the corporation for deliberately concealing data about the health risks of its products.
举报人指控该公司蓄意隐瞒其产品健康风险的数据。（accuse for 错误，应改为 accuse of）
accuse 固定搭配介词 of（accuse sb. of sth.），不用 for；accuse sb. for 是高频介词错误
✓
The whistleblower accused the corporation of deliberately concealing data about the health risks of its products.
举报人指控该公司蓄意隐瞒其产品健康风险的数据。
⚠️accuse vs. blame vs. charge：指控 vs. 归咎 vs. 正式起诉
The environmental group blamed the local government for failing to enforce pollution regulations, leading to serious damage to the river ecosystem.
✗
blame = accuse（责怪，指控，意思相近，介词也一样）
✓
blame（责怪，归咎于，介词 for：blame sb. for sth. = 因为某事责怪某人，可以无正式指控，更日常）；accuse（指控，更正式，含明确的指责动作，介词 of）；charge（法律起诉，介词 with：charge sb. with negligence = 以过失罪起诉）；此句是「指责政府执法不力」，用 blame for（非正式指责，有因果关系）准确
环保团体指责地方政府未能执行污染法规，导致河流生态系统遭受严重破坏。（blame for = 因为某事归咎于；accuse of = 指控犯了某事；介词不同）
近义辨析
accuse vs charge
accuse 指控（accuse sb. of = 指控某人，含明确指责，可正式可非正式） charge 正式起诉（charge sb. with = 以某罪名正式起诉，法律用语，更正式）
