正确表达The government rationed rice to the citizens during the war.
“ration”不能像“give”那样接双宾语。当表示“把某物定量分配给某人”时，要用“ration sth to sb”的结构，即用介词“to”引出接受者；直接说“ration sb sth”是错误的中式英语。

易错句子They rationed food for the refugees.
正确表达They rationed food to the refugees.
动词“ration”表示“定量供应”时，介词用“to”指出接受者，而不是“for”。“for”表示目的或受益，不表示分配的对象。
