强调主语主动陷入对某事物的依赖或痴迷(通常含贬义,指过度投入影响正常生活)。
该短语是动词短语,结构为:
addict:及物动词,意为“使上瘾;使沉迷”;
oneself:反身代词,需与主语保持人称一致(如I→myself, you→yourself, he→himself等);
to:介词,后接名词(如drugs, games)或动名词(如playing, smoking),不能接动词原形。
1、 接名词:
He addicted himself to drugs at the age of 18.(他18岁时就沉迷于毒品。)
Don’t addict yourself to alcohol—it’s bad for your health.(别沉迷于酒精——对你健康有害。)
2、 接动名词:
She addicts herself to playing video games every night.(她每晚都沉迷于玩电子游戏。)
Many teenagers addict themselves to scrolling through social media for hours.(很多青少年沉迷于刷社交媒体数小时。)
3、 否定/祈使句:
Don’t addict yourself to such meaningless stuff!(别沉迷于这种无意义的东西!)
You shouldn’t addict yourself to staying up late.(你不该沉迷于熬夜。)
注意与状态短语 "be addicted to" 区分:
addict oneself to:主动动作(强调“开始沉迷”的过程);
be addicted to:被动状态(强调“已经上瘾”的结果)。
例如:
At first, he just tried it for fun, but soon he addicted himself to it.(一开始他只是试试好玩,但很快就沉迷其中了。)
Now he is addicted to it and can’t quit.(现在他已经上瘾,戒不掉了。)
常接表示易让人沉迷的事物的名词/动名词,如:
drugs(毒品)、alcohol(酒精)、gaming(游戏)、social media(社交媒体)、shopping(购物)、gambling(赌博)等。
总结:"addict oneself to" 是主动沉迷的动作表达,后接名词或动名词,需注意反身代词与主语一致。日常使用中,更常用"be addicted to" 描述“上瘾的状态”,但"addict oneself to" 更强调“主动陷入”的过程。
