Theirs was a serious business, and even those reviewers who wore their learning lightly, like George Bernard Shaw and Ernest Newman, could be trusted to know what they were about.

could be trusted to know what they were about该怎么理解呢？

是不是to know what they were about could be trusted这样理解？

在这里，trust 跟 believe 用法相同，意思是“认为”。可以接复合宾语，其中宾补由不定式充当，即：believe/trust sb. to do sth. 认为某人做了某事。
当 believe/trust 为被动语态时，后面多接不定式。就句子成分而言，主动语态的宾补在被动结构中变成主补（主语补足语）。
could be trusted to know what they were about： “（他们）可以被认为是深谙自己所论述的事情。”
