beusedto和usedto有什么区别(usedto是曾经...)
这是两个非常非常容易混淆的短语,相差一个be动词,意思却截然不同。
Used to我们来看两个例句,猜猜对一个人的描述:
Dennis smoked when he was 23-year-old.
Dennis23岁的时候就抽烟了。
Dennis stopped smoking two years ago. He doesn't smoke any more.
Dennis两年前停止吸烟了,而且再也没有抽过。
所以,我们总结:
Dennis used to smoke.
Dennis曾经吸过烟。
简而易见,used to 的表明的要素就两点:
1.过去曾经做过(经常性的)
2.现在已经不做了或者次数减少了
我们看两个例子验证:
I used to play basketball once a week, but I don't play very often now.
我以前一周打一次篮球,但是现在不经常打了。
Do you go to the cinema very often?你经常去电影院吗?
--not, but I used to . 不,但我以前经常去。
同时,我们也可以用used to...表示“某些事物过去的观点,状态和现在已经不同”。
I used to think he was unfriendly, but now I realise he's a very nice man.
我以前觉得他不友好,但现在我意识到他是一个非常友好的人。
Jane used to have very long hair, but now she doesn't.
Jane以前是留非常长的头发,但是现在不是了。
Be used to
跟used to 只差了一个be动词,意思差别可大了。我们来看看例子描述:
Frank lives alone. He doesn't mind this because he has lived alone for 15 years.
Frank独自一个人住,他并不介意这个,因为他已经独自一个人住了15年了。
从而,我们得出结论:
Frank is used to it. He is used to living along.
他习惯这样子,他习惯自己一个人住。
我们用be used to 表明“习惯于......”, 有两种结构:
be used to something 习惯于某事/某物
be used to doing something 习惯于做某事
I bought some new shoes. They felt a bit strange at first because I wasn't used to them.
我买了一些新鞋,刚开始穿起来有些奇怪,因为我还没有习惯它们。
I got a new job,and I must get up much earlier now, I found it's difficult because I'm not used to getting up so early.
我换了份新工作,现在必须早起很多,然而我发现这很困难,因为我不习惯起得如此早。
