《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 to 和 get 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。
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:
-
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。
-
You'll soon get used to living in the country. 很快你就会习惯于住在乡下了。
-
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。
请做下面的英语试题:
-
