问:请问罗教授:我们老师说,witness to 后接动词ing形式,可您在
疑难解析上却有一句:He witnessed to have seen the prisoner near the scene of the crime.到底该怎样使用这个短语?    
     
答:(1witness作名词时,后面可以接介词to, againstof。比如:My clothes are a witness to my poverty. (我的衣服证明我是贫穷的。)/ He is a witness to the will.(他是遗嘱的见证人。)/ She is a witness against the accused.(她是不利于被告的证人。) / She is a witness of an incident.(她是事件的目击者。) 2witness作及物动词时,后面直接接名词。比如本刊例句: Tom witnessed the accident. (汤姆目睹了事故的经过。) 3)如果witness作不及物动词,一般后面应该接介词to, againstfor。比如:He witnessed against (for) her in the charge.(他在控告中作不利<有利>于她的证明。)/ He witnessed to having seen the man enter the building.(他作证说曾看到此人走进大楼。)所以,你问的这个句子,还是修改成这样为好:He witnessed to having seen the prisoner near the scene of the crime.
