Confess to

    承认

    周二军事检察院对中央军委原副主席徐才厚涉嫌受贿犯罪案件侦查终结，移送审查起诉。请看本报昨日的报道：

    Xu Caihou, former vice chairman of China’s Central Military Commission, has confessed to taking bribes, said military prosecutors in Beijing on Tuesday.

    Military prosecutors have finished investigation into Xu’s graft case and started the procedure to file the case, said a statement from the military procuratorate.

    Xu was also expelled from the Communist Party of China and discharged from military service with his rank as general revoked.

    报道中的confess to就是“承认(做错的事)”，这里to是介

    词，后接名词。Confess还有“(向上帝、神父)忏悔”的意思。名词是confession。例如：

    Her husband confessed to having had an affair.

    她丈夫承认有过外遇。
