强调一种持续的情感状态(而非瞬间的“坠入爱河”动作),表示主语对宾语(通常是人,也可引申为事物)持有深厚、持久的爱意。
该短语是系表结构(be动词 + 介词短语作表语),核心结构为:
表示“爱上某人”,强调“处于恋爱状态”。
一般现在时(描述当前状态):
She is in love with her childhood friend.(她爱上了她的童年好友。)
Are you in love with someone right now?(你现在在和某人谈恋爱吗?)
一般过去时(描述过去的状态):
They were in love with each other when they studied abroad.(他们在留学时曾相恋。)
现在完成时(强调状态持续至今):
He has been in love with her for five years.(他已经爱她五年了。)
表示“热爱、迷恋某事物”(情感强度类似“爱”)。
She is in love with the idea of living in a small village.(她痴迷于住在小村庄的想法。)
I am deeply in love with classical music.(我深深地热爱古典音乐。)
可在"in love with"前加副词,突出爱的深度:
be deeply in love with:深深地爱上
They are deeply in love with each other.(他们深爱着彼此。)
be madly in love with:疯狂地爱上
He is madly in love with his new girlfriend.(他疯狂爱着他的新女友。)
be head over heels in love with:神魂颠倒地爱上(口语常用)
She's head over heels in love with that actor.(她对那个演员神魂颠倒。)
否定句:在be动词后加not
I am not in love with him anymore.(我不再爱他了。)
疑问句:将be动词提前
Was she in love with you before?(她以前爱过你吗?)
短语 | 含义 | 侧重 | 例句 |
---|---|---|---|
be in love with | 处于爱(某人)的状态 | 持续的“状态” | They are in love with each other.(他们在恋爱。) |
fall in love with | 坠入爱河;爱上(动作) | 瞬间的“动作” | They fell in love with each other at first sight.(他们一见钟情。) |
"be in love with" 是描述恋爱/热爱状态的核心短语,重点在“持续的情感”,而非“开始爱的动作”。掌握其与"fall in love with"的区别,就能准确表达“爱”的不同阶段啦!
