become 的用法及固定搭配

become

1.become后面不可接不定式,如不可说He became to like reading和She has become to be interested,该把第一句里的became改作began,第二句里的to be删去。

2.become(过去分词)可以用作形容词。例如:

  • They were looking at an invisible star suddenly become visible.
  • Mr Smith, now become a teacher, used to live here.
  • He is become a teacher.
  • I do not know what is become of him.

但第三句和第四句现在不很普通,通常用has become。

3.become是一时的动作,所以不可说He has become a teacher for five years,该说He became a teacher five years ago或It is five years since he became a teacher。

4.下面各句里的become都用得不错,但不及用be普通:

  • I want to become a doctor.
  • I wish to become a doctor.
  • I desire to become a doctor.
  • I have aspirations to become a doctor.
  • I am ambitious to become a doctor.

5.become不及get和grow通俗,尤其在属于比较级的形容词前面。下面各句里的got、grew、getting或growing如改成became或becoming,则句子比较不自然:

  • I soon got tired.
  • When it grew dark, we thought of coming back.
  • They are all getting older.
  • The sea is growing calmer.

6.become of作“发生于…”或“…成为”解。例如:What has become of him? (他成为怎样了?)这句子的主语总是what。
