married 的用法及固定搭配

married

1.在现代英语里marry和be married后面都不可接with,如不可说He (was) married with her或She (was) married with him。该改作:

  • He married her. He was married to her.
  • She married him. She was married to him.
  • They married. They were married.

说出了“某月某日”用被动语态比用主动语态普通,如He was married to her on 6 December比He married her on 6 December普通。

2.marry是一时的动作,所以不可说He has married for seven years;该说He married seven years ago或It is seven years since he married。但可以说He has been married for seven years,因为married是形容词。

3.不可说Do you marry?习惯上也不说Have you married?或Have you been married?该说Are you married?

4.下面三句意思不同:

  • He is not a marrying man.(他不是一个想要结婚的男子。)
  • He is not a married man.(他不是一个已经结婚的男子。)
  • He is not a marriageable man. (他不是一个在年龄上适宜结婚的男子。)
