Beijing is located in ...

这里的 located 是 形容词么？？

这里的 according to 是介词短语作定语的么？？
谢谢帮助！！

Answer 1

这里located是作为动词的被动形态。The apple was eaten---苹果被吃了。同理，Beijing is located in直译过来是Beijing被发现在。自然，意译就是Beijing在。你也可以用Beijing is situated in,同样的道理。

如果你说something according to,把according to直接修饰something那才是介词短语作定语，在那种情况下是根据(某人)说的意思。关键这里有个is，在这里according to是遵循某件事情(如法律，某人的话）的意思，是作为动词（遵循）。
