all present and accounted for 中的 accounted for 怎么理解?
查《麦克米兰英语词典》在present词条:
all present and accounted for 是惯用表达,主要用于口语,意思是:used for saying that everyone or everything that should be somewhere is in fact there(该在的都在,该来的都来了)。
all present and accounted for 主要用于美式英语中,在英式英语中,通常用 all present and correct。
1. Sb.说明[解释(理由等)]St.:
How can you account for accident? 你如何说明这个事故?
2. St.1足以说明St.2:
Her headache account for her bad humor. 头疼是她情绪不好的原因。
