這幾道題都是考查與used有關的短語。與used有關的短語如 used to do sth., be used to doing sth., be used to do sth.等形似且用法容易混淆,為了幫助同學們分辨它們的用法,現小結如下:
1. used to do sth. 表示“過去常常……”,指過去有但現在已經不存在的情況或習慣,可與各種人稱的單、復數形式連用,后接動詞原形。例如:
There used to be a lot of trees around the place.
這兒周圍以前有很多樹。
She used to be a teacher.
她過去曾是個老師。
When I was in the countryside, I used to get up at five o'clock.
在農村的時候, 我經常5點起床。
used to的否定句常用didn't use(d) to, used not to或use(d)n't to形式,疑問句常用Did sb. use(d) to... 或Used sb. to... 形式。 例如:
He didn't use(d) to go home by bus.
他過去不常坐車回家。
The river use(d)n't to be clean.
這條河過去不干凈。
Did you use(d) to be a teacher?
= Used you to be a teacher?
你從前當過老師嗎?
2. be used to+n./doing sth 表示“習慣于……”,其中to是介詞,后接名詞或動名詞。be可以有各種時態的變化形式,有時也可用get,become,grow等詞替代,表示由不習慣變為習慣。例如:
Americans are used to drinking coffee after dinner.
美國人習慣在飯后喝咖啡。
I have got used to the country life.
我已經習慣了農村生活。
You will be used to the work in a short time.
你不久就會習慣這個工作。
I am used to staying up late at night.
我習慣熬夜。
You'll soon be / get / become / grow used to our way of living.
你很快就會習慣我們的生活方式。
3. be used to do sth. 表示“……被用來干某事”,是use ... to do sth.“用……做某事”的被動形式。試比較下面一組句子。
A knife is used to cut bread. (被動形式)
I use a knife to cut bread. (主動形式)
4. be used for + n./doing sth. 表示“……被用來做某事”,其中for為介詞,后接名詞或動名詞,與be used to do sth.同義。例如:
─What do you use this tool for?
─It is used for cutting hair. = It is used to cut hair.
你用這個工具干什么?
這個工具是用來剪頭發的。
Knives can be used for cutting things. =Knives can be used to cut things.
刀能用來切東西。
5. be used as + n.表示“被作為……使用”。例如:
This room is used as our classroom.
這個房間被用作我們的教室。
The box can be used as a table.
這箱子可以用來當桌子。
6. be used by + sb. 表示“……被某人使用”。例如:
This reading-room is only used by teachers.
這是僅供教師使用的閱覽室。
The recorder was used by several teachers.
這臺錄音機被幾個老師用過。
