  • subscriber
  • subscribed
看答案

subscribe

plans to 後需要原形動詞,subscribe to 表示訂閱。subscription 和 subscriber 都是名詞;subscribed 是過去式或過去分詞,不能接在此處的不定詞 to 後。

同義改寫

Our department subscribes to a monthly trade magazine and pays for a full year in advance. → Our department has a subscription to a monthly trade magazine and pays for a full year in advance.
subscribes to 與 has a subscription to 在此都表示持續訂閱該刊物,預付一整年費用的資訊也保持不變。
Our manager subscribes to the view that shorter meetings help the team stay focused. → Our manager agrees with the view that shorter meetings help the team stay focused.
搭配 the view 時,subscribes to 表示認同,可改為 agrees with,保留主管的看法。
