英语短语"attached to"是动词attach的过去分词短语,核心含义围绕“连接、关联”,具体可分为物理/具象连接和情感/抽象关联两大类,常与be动词搭配构成“be attached to”结构,或作后置定语修饰名词。
"attached to"的核心逻辑是“将A与B绑定/关联”,具体场景分为两种:
指物体之间的实际连接(如粘贴、捆绑、安装等),或文件/物品的附带。
结构:主语(物体)+ be attached to + 依附对象
例句:
The price tag is attached to the dress.(价格标签贴在连衣裙上。)
Please keep the receipt attached to your invoice.(请把收据和发票钉在一起。)
Is the USB drive attached to the laptop?(U盘插在笔记本电脑上吗?)
指人对人/事物的情感依赖,或机构/身份的归属关系(如“隶属于某单位”)。
结构:主语(人/机构)+ be attached to + 情感/归属对象
例句:
She’s very attached to her grandmother.(她非常依恋奶奶。)
I’ve become attached to this old house after living here for 10 years.(住了10年后,我对这栋老房子有了感情。)
The research center is attached to the university.(这个研究中心隶属于那所大学。)
He was attached to the embassy as a cultural advisor.(他被派往大使馆担任文化顾问。)
与be动词连用,说明主语的状态(物理或情感):
The painting is attached to the wall with nails.(这幅画用钉子挂在墙上。)
Kids are often attached to their favorite toys.(孩子通常很依恋他们最喜欢的玩具。)
修饰前面的名词,表示“与...相连的”:
The document attached to the email is our new contract.(邮件中附带的文件是我们的新合同。)
The key attached to the lanyard belongs to the office.(挂绳上的钥匙是办公室的。)
注意:这是attach的另一个常用搭配(主动形式),表示“重视某事”,但核心仍与“关联”相关(将“重要性”与“某事”绑定):
We should attach great importance to environmental protection.(我们应该高度重视环境保护。)
物理vs.情感:根据上下文判断——若涉及物体,多为“附着”;若涉及人/抽象事物,多为“依恋/隶属”。
主动vs.被动:"attached to"通常是过去分词(表被动或完成),而主动形式是"attach sth. to sth."(把某物固定在某物上):
主动:Please attach the photo to your application form.(请把照片贴在申请表上。)
被动:The photo is attached to the application form.(照片贴在申请表上了。)
"attached to"的本质是“将A与B关联”,具体意思随场景变化:
物体→附着/附加;
人→依恋/热爱;
机构→隶属于/派往;
文件→附带。
掌握关键:看主语和宾语的性质(物体/人/机构),结合上下文判断具体含义。
