er survived in the accident when he fell overboard yesterday . He narrowly escaped drowning 这里没错。survive 可以作不及物动词的。“存活”“to continue to live or exist”。这里in the accient，只是状语。你把他提前，In the accident Peter survived when ...。而且在这个不及物动词用法里，一般是以物为主语，后面还可以加from/in等介词。表示“依然存在”，如 Several buildings in the town have survived from medieval times. Chuck survives the crash and lands on a deserted island 这个是survive 的及物用法，“幸存”“to continue to live or exist in spit of a dangerous event or time. 还一个及物用法，叫，“比。。活或存在的时间长”，She survived her husband by ten years.丈夫死后她又活了十年。
