核心问题
Cleaning women in big cities usually get ____ by the hour. A. pay B. paying C. paid D. to pay(全国高考,98-23)
我选了D,但书上给的答案却是C。get paid是什么意思呢?
词典解答
get + v-ed 可构成被动语态，见 get 。上句中的 get paid 相当于 are paid，意为“得到报酬”。这里要明白，pay sb. 是指“向……付款”的意思：
-
I haven't paid the doctor yet. 我还没有向医生付费呢。
-
Has the dressmaker been paid? 给裁缝付款了吗?
