be used to/get used to

核心问题

《中华第一名校高考高分解疑·英语》(首都师大出版社, p. 194) 对 be used toget used to 作了如下解释:

be(get) used to + 动名词这一结构表示动作由经常性的(used to do)变成习惯性的,由动态变成静态……”

我认为该书作者对 get used to 的解释是错误的。

词典解答

be used to 表示“习惯于某事”的状态,而 get used to 则表示由“不习惯”到“习惯于”这一动态过程,意思是“(变得)习惯于”“开始习惯于”(参见 get used to)

例如:

  1. I think it is a bit difficult for you to get used to the wet hot weather here. 我想,让你习惯于这里潮湿而炎热的天气,有点儿困难。

  2. You'll soon get used to living in the country. 很快你就会习惯于住在乡下了。

  3. Have you got used to living on your own. 你已经习惯于独自生活了吗?

[附注]上面对 get used to 的解释也适用于 become used to, grow used to
