that accorded Theresa May和that accorded to Theresa May两种都是对的,就是约定俗成就这样用,不用加to ,wordreference上有和楼主一模一样的问题,我给你搬过来了
例句
Others, however, would vastly prefer permanent jobs. They have struggled to deal with the instability, the second-tier status often accorded contractors and other temporary workers and the usual lack of benefits.---taken from the NYT
提问
Dear all,
Should "accorded" be "accorded to"? Because I think of "accord" as "give".
She is accorded respect by her students.
Her students accord her respect.
Her students accord respect to her.
Respect is accorded to her by her students.
Could you tell me whether my understanding is correct? Thanks.
回答
This is a hard one, LQZ. I don't think that the sentence you've quoted is incorrect, but I don't think that your suggested revision would be wrong either. I would say that the answer has something to do with the fact that "accorded" forms part of a noun clause in the NYT's sentence.
"Respect is accorded to her by the students." - fine
"Respect is accorded her by the students." - somewhat unidiomatic
"She enjoys the respect accorded to her by the students." - fine
"She enjoys the respect accorded her by the students." - I find this acceptable
In other words, the bare participle of "accorded"--here used as an adjective--functions differently from the participle as part of a passive construction.
