Get rid of 是什么意思?摆脱、处理掉,不一定是扔掉

Get rid of 表示摆脱不想要的东西或问题。处理旧外套未必得扔进垃圾桶;它比 throw away 范围更广,介词却固定只能用 of。

Get rid of 表示去掉不想要的东西,或摆脱不想接触的人。对不再需要的物品,可以是扔掉、卖掉或送人;它也用于习惯、疾病和其他问题,例如 get rid of a cough、get rid of a bad habit。

开始学习

get rid of + thing/habit/problem; got rid of (past); want/try to get rid of

  • Before we moved, we got rid of most of our old furniture.
  • It took me months to get rid of the habit of checking my phone in bed.
  • The new software helped our office get rid of a lot of boring paperwork.

修改原因

修改前I finally got rid from all the old cables I never use.

修改后I finally got rid of all the old cables I never use.

因为有去除的意思,from 看起来似乎合理;off 的读音又很接近。但这个表达的固定介词是 of:get rid of。修改只替换了一个介词。

Cambridge Dictionary

Throw away 表示把东西扔掉。Get rid of 的范围更广,可以卖掉、送人或扔掉,重点是它不再留着。Get rid of 也不只用于物品:get rid of stress、get rid of a cold。
