什么是 “indicate to”？
“Indicate to” 是一个英语动词短语，通常用于表示“向某人表明/指出某事”。其中，“indicate” 意为“表明、指示”，而 “to” 引出动作的对象（即“向谁”）。
基本结构
常见句型为：
indicate to + [某人] + that + [从句]
或
indicate to + [某人] + [名词/代词]
例如：
- The report indicated to the manager that sales were declining.
- She indicated to me her willingness to help.
使用注意事项
虽然 “indicate to” 在正式书面语中是可接受的，但在日常口语中，人们更倾向于简化表达，例如直接说 “tell someone that...” 或 “show someone that...”。
此外，“indicate” 后面也可以不接 “to”，直接跟宾语或从句，如：
The data indicates a problem.
