Familiar 是什么意思?Familiar to 和 familiar with 怎么分

Familiar 表示熟悉的、能认出来的。同样是说很了解一个程序,换个主语,介词就得从 with 换成 to:两种结构怎样对应?

Familiar 表示已知的、容易认出来的:a familiar face 是熟悉的面孔,be familiar with something 则表示很了解某物。它也可以指对人过于随意、熟络,但这个意思通常带有 too。没有这种语境时,familiar 一般表示熟悉。

familiar:这次词义能选对吗?

修改原因

修改前This song sounds familiar for me, but I can't remember what it's called.

修改后This song sounds familiar to me, but I can't remember what it's called.

这里容易写成 familiar for me,但描述某样东西对你来说熟悉时,应使用 to:familiar to me。修改只替换了介词。

Cambridge Dictionary

描述一个人与别人过分熟络时,常加 too:He was a bit too familiar with my colleagues。如果只是说对方放松、容易交流,可以用 informal 或 friendly:Our manager is very informal。

动手练习

with — 主语 I 是了解这个程序的人,所以选 familiar with。如果主语是程序本身,就用 familiar to:The program is familiar to me。

描述一个虽然第一次去、却觉得熟悉的地方。说明是什么地方,以及为什么有熟悉感。

When I first visited the old market in Riga, it looked familiar to me, because my grandmother had shown me photos of it when I was a child.
