a. 一般而言, 形容詞多置於be動詞或become (變成)、seem (似乎) 等連綴動詞之後, 作主詞補語。
例: The child is clever.
(這孩子很聰明。)
He became strong from exercising.
(由於運動他變得強壯起來。)
He seems angry.
(他似乎生氣了。)
b. get亦可表示『變成』的意思, 相當於become, 但become之後可置任何的形容詞, get之後的形容詞則有所選擇。
例: He got clever. (╳)
→He became clever. (○)
(他變得聰明了。)
He got strong. (╳)
→He became strong. (○)
(他變得強壯了。)
但: He got angry. (○)
= He became angry.
(他變得生氣了。)
一般而言, 下列形容詞可置於get之後:
a. 與『生氣』有關的形容詞
angry (生氣的)、mad (生氣的)、crazy (氣得發狂的)。
例: He got mad when he heard the news.
(他聽到這消息時，就生起氣來。)
b. 與『健康』有關的形容詞
ill、sick (生病的)、well (身體健康的)。
例: He got ill last week.
(上星期他病了。)
After taking the medicine, he soon got well.
(吃了藥之後，他很快好了起來。)
注意:
get ill (或sick) 亦可用fall ill (或sick) 取代。
例: He fell ill but refused to see a doctor.
(他病了，但卻拒絕看醫生。)
c. get之後亦可接過去分詞, 形成被動語態, 等於"be動詞 + 過去分詞"。
例: He was injured in the traffic accident.
= He got injured in the traffic accident.
(他在車禍中受傷。)
About ten people were killed in the fire.
= About ten people got killed in the fire.
(這次火災大約有十個人喪生。)
d. get若使用於現在進行式中, 之後可接一般形容詞, 這些形容詞多用比較級。即:
|
be getting |
more and more + 形容詞
比較級形容詞 + and + 比較級形容詞 |
變得越來越……
例: She gets beautiful. (╳)
→She is getting more and more beautiful. (○)
(她變得越來越漂亮了。)
His English got good. (╳)
→His English is getting better and better. (○)
(他的英文變得越來越好了。)
