become的用法說明和搭配
1. 用作連系動(dòng)詞,其后可接名詞、形容詞、過去分詞等作表語(yǔ):
The weather became warmer. 天氣變得暖和起來。
Soon the roombecame crowded. 不一會(huì)兒房里就擠滿了人。
He became a teacher at (the age of) 17. 他17歲就當(dāng)了老師。
注意:其后接過去分詞時(shí),可表示被動(dòng)或結(jié)果;但表示被動(dòng)時(shí),其后一般不接 by短語(yǔ)。比如不說:
Soon the room became crowded bystudents.
2. become 是終止性動(dòng)詞,因此要表示“成為…有多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間”,英語(yǔ)不能將become與表示一段時(shí)間的詞或短語(yǔ)連用:
他成為老師有十年了。
正:He has been a teacher for ten years.
正:He became a teacher ten years ago.
正:It’s ten years since he became a teacher.
誤:He has become a teacher for ten years.
3. become 之后一般不接不定式表示“逐漸…” (此時(shí)可用 come / begin+不定式):
正:He became ill yesterday. 他昨天病了。
誤:He became to be ill yesterday.
正:He began [came] to like English. 他開始喜歡英語(yǔ)起來。
誤:He became to like English.
4. 用于習(xí)語(yǔ) become of, 表示“發(fā)生”、“遭遇”等 (常與 what連用):
What has become of the girl? 這個(gè)女孩后來怎樣了?
I don’t know what will become of me if I fail this time. 要是我這次不成功,我不知我會(huì)怎么樣。
