表示“与某人结婚；和某人处于婚姻关系中”，强调婚姻的状态（而非结婚的动作）。
该短语是系表结构（be动词 + 形容词married + 介词to + 宾语sb.），关键要注意以下几点：
be动词需根据时间语境调整：
一般现在时（描述当前状态）：is/am/are married to sb.
例：She is married to a doctor.（她和一位医生结婚了。）
一般过去时（描述过去的状态）：was/were married to sb.
例：They were married to each other in the 1990s.（他们在90年代结过婚。）
现在完成时（强调状态的延续）：has/have been married to sb.
例：We have been married to each other for 15 years.（我们结婚15年了。）
"be married to sb."是延续性动词短语，可以和表示“时间段”的状语（如for 10 years, since 2000等）连用，而表示“结婚动作”的短语（如get married to sb., marry sb.）是短暂性的，不能直接接时间段。
❌ 错误：She got married to Tom for 5 years.（get married是动作，无法延续）
✅ 正确：She has been married to Tom for 5 years.（be married是状态，可延续）
必须用to，不能用with！（常见易错点）
❌ 错误：She is married with Tom.
✅ 正确：She is married to Tom.
在be动词后加not，表示“未与某人结婚”：
例：He isn't married to anyone yet.（他还没和任何人结婚。）
| 短语 | 含义 | 性质 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|---|
| be married to sb. | 与某人是夫妻（状态） | 延续性 | They have been married for 10 years. |
| get married to sb. | 和某人结婚（动作） | 短暂性 | She got married to Jack last year. |
| marry sb. | 娶/嫁某人（动作） | 短暂性 | He married his high school sweetheart. |
"be married to sb."的核心是“婚姻状态”，重点在“持续的关系”，而非“结婚的动作”。使用时注意时态、介词搭配，以及与短暂性短语的区分。
