英语短语 get used to 的核心含义是 “逐渐适应/习惯于(某事物或行为)”,强调从“不熟悉、不适应”到“熟悉、适应”的过程。
“get used to” 中的 to 是介词(不是不定式符号),因此后面必须接 名词、代词或动名词(doing),结构为:
“get used to” 可以根据语境搭配不同时态,突出“适应”的过程阶段:
1、 现在进行时(am/is/are getting used to):强调“正在适应”的当下状态
例:I'm getting used to the new school.(我正在适应新学校。)
2、 现在完成时(have/has got used to):强调“已经适应”的结果
例:She has got used to working late.(她已经习惯加班了。)
3、 一般过去时(got used to):描述过去“适应了”的过程
例:He got used to the cold weather after a month.(一个月后他适应了寒冷的天气。)
4、 否定/疑问形式:借助助动词(do/does/did/have/has)
例:I haven't got used to the spicy food yet.(我还没习惯吃辣。)
例:Did you get used to living alone?(你习惯独居了吗?)
容易混淆的短语是 be used to 和 used to do,需明确区分:
短语 | 含义 | 结构 | 示例 |
---|---|---|---|
get used to | 逐渐适应(过程) | get used to + 名词/doing | I'm getting used to jogging.(我在适应慢跑。) |
be used to | 已经习惯(状态) | be used to + 名词/doing | She is used to the noise.(她习惯了噪音。) |
used to do | 过去常常做(现在不做) | used to + 动词原形 | I used to play football.(我过去常踢足球。) |
I need time to get used to the new schedule.(我需要时间适应新日程。)
Have you got used to driving on the left?(你习惯靠左开车了吗?)
It took me weeks to get used to his accent.(我花了几周才适应他的口音。)
注意:不要误用为 “get used to do”(to 是介词,后接 doing 而非原形)!错误:I get used to get up early.
正确:I get used to getting up early.(我习惯早起。)
简言之,“get used to” 聚焦“从陌生到熟悉的适应过程”,只要记住 to 是介词,就能避免语法错误~
