obey a rule or request
To do what you are asked or required to do, especially by a rule, law, or person in authority.
用法模式：
[someone] complies with [rule / request / law]
常见错误：
Learners often forget the preposition "with" and say *"comply the rules"* instead of "comply with the rules." Another mistake is using "comply" in very casual speech where "do what someone says" or "follow the rules" would sound more natural. "Comply" is mainly used in formal or official contexts.

meet official rules or standards
For a product, system, or process to be made or done in a way that matches the rules or standards.
用法模式：

Learners sometimes use an active human subject when the focus is on the product or system, saying *"The company complies the standards"* instead of "The product complies with the standards" or "The company meets the standards." Also, remember to use "with": "comply with standards," not *"comply standards."*
