nciku Note

按, 按照 and 依照

, 按照 and 依照
àn, ànzhào and yīzhào

All three prepositions mean “to take something as evidence or proof" and sometimes are interchangeable.
(1) 按照/依照)上级的指示,这件事由他来完成。
(2) 是不是所有的事情一定要按照/依照)规定来做?

Although the three words are interchangeable in these two examples, 按 and 按照 stress doing something under a certain condition while 依照 stresses that an action is not without reason and gives the statement a more formal connotation.

In the following more colloquial examples, 按 is usually used to mean "under a certain condition". 按照 can also be used in some cases.
(3) 请要求完成这些事。
(4) 按照)他的说法,我们应该明天早上出发。

按 is often replaced by 按着, 按……说, 按……讲.
(5) 他按着按照)地图的指示,顺利找到了这里。
(6) 理说,他不应该这时候回来。

A personal pronoun can be inserted before 说 or 讲.
(7) 我说,我们还是走吧。
(8) 你这么讲,这题目是错的?

按 can be used with monosyllabic words but 按照 and 依照 cannot, e.g. 日计算, 人分配, etc.

Since 依照 stresses an act in accordance with rules and regulations, it is usually used in legal sentences. For example:
(9) 依照相关法律规定,这种行为应该受到处罚。
(10) 这事必须依照相关规定来办。

这里主要谈这三个词作为介词时的异同。三个介词都表示以某一事物作为言论行为的凭据、根据。有时可以互换。
上面两句,虽然可以互换,但是“按”和“按照”侧重凭某条件,“依照”则侧重于有根据,更加正式和书面化。
下面这种口语中表示一般凭借条件的,一般用“按”,有时可用“按照”。
“按”还常说“按着”、“按……说”、“按……讲”。
“按”还可以加人称代词再加“说”或“讲”。
“按”可以与单音节词搭配,如“按日计算”、“按人分配”等,“按照”、“依照”则不行。
“依照”由于强调根据性,有照办的意思,下面涉及法律的句子一般用“依照”。
