Get used to 是什么意思?适应了,与过去常做不同

Get used to 表示逐渐适应。住过一座城,与后来习惯在那里生活,中文只差几个字;英语里一旦漏掉 get,连 to 后的动词形式也会变。

Get used to 表示逐渐适应新的地方、生活节奏或工作,重点是从陌生到习惯的过程。若已经习惯,则用 be used to:I'm used to the noise。

练习在对话中灵活使用英语词汇

开始学习

get used to + noun/-ing; be used to + noun/-ing; used to + verb (past habit)

  • It took me a month to get used to working from home.
  • You'll soon get used to driving on the left in the UK.
  • I've lived here for two years, but I still can't get used to the long winters.

修改原因

修改前I can't get used to wake up at six every morning.

修改后I can't get used to waking up at six every morning.

Get used to 后面接所适应的对象,例如 the noise、the new job。动作也作为这个对象出现,因此要用 -ing 形式:waking up。这里的 to 后不能直接用动词原形 wake up。

Cambridge Dictionary

Used to + 动词原形 表示过去常做、现在不再如此,与适应不同。I used to live in Minsk 是以前住在明斯克;I got used to living in Minsk 则是逐渐习惯在那里生活。Get 以及 to 后的 -ing 形式共同标明区别。

动手练习

After a few weeks in Japan, I ___ eating with chopsticks.

(got used to / used to)

查看答案

got used to — 过了几周后习惯了使用筷子,因此用 got used to eating。Used to 表示过去的习惯,后接原形:used to eat。若没有 get 或 be,不能用 used to eating 表达这里的适应过程。

写一个你曾需要适应的变化,例如搬家、换工作或调整作息。说明最难适应的是什么,以及花了多久。

When I started working night shifts, the hardest thing was getting used to sleeping during the day, and it took me about two months.
