问题: accounts of

Far too often the foreigner has read accounts
of sordid nineteenth century drink places,
haunted by people whose one desire was to drink as much as they could afford as quickly as
possible.
accounts of是个什么短语 什么用法呢?

解答:

句意: 那位外国人经常会读到关于十九世纪那些酒馆里的肮脏事,并且困扰于那些进入酒馆的人,他们进去的唯一的目的就是尽快多喝酒,只要他们还付得起。

accounts of 不是连在一起的短语,要拆开。

account查一下金山词霸(2005版),有:

美国传统词典[双解]

n.(名词)
A narrative or record of events.
记述,报告:一叙述事件或事件的记录

这里应该是“记述、报告”的意思,这样后面加个of就不足为奇了。
