be prone to... 讲解:
在写作中可以作“易于(受某事物影响或做某事) 的”的意思。
"be prone to" something, usually something bad, means to have a tendency to be affected by it or to do it.
搭配的时候可以用be prone to sth/doing sth/do sth等,查阅了各种字典网站,“to”这里又能做介词,又能做不定式。
例句:
1. Working without a break makes you more prone to error.
连续工作不停歇使人更容易出错。
2. Tired drivers were found to be particularly prone to ignore warning signs. 疲劳驾车时特别容易忽视警示标志。
