非常有趣,marry与divorce意思相反,但两者在用法上有很多相似之处。
1. 相似之处:
(1) 两者均可用作不及物动词,但在口语或非正式文体中,若不跟宾语,通常用be [get] divorced和be [get] married 这样的结构来代替其不及物用法。如:
So you are going to get married this time. 原来这次你要结婚了。
They got married in 1986, and got divorced two years later. 他们1986年结的婚,两年以后便离婚了。
其不及物用法主要用于较正式的文体中。如:
She did not intend to marry at all. 她根本不想结婚。
After three very unhappy years they divorced. 他们很不愉快地过了3年,终于离婚了。
单词:marry的近义词、反义词、形近词辨析
marry/be married
She married a Frenchman.她嫁给了一个法国人。
My aunt is married but she has no children.我的姑姑结婚了,但没有小孩。
<辨析>动词 marry 可作及物或不及物动词。用作及物动词时,意为“嫁给,娶”,“和......结婚”;用作不及物动词时,意为“结婚”,常有状语修饰。如:
He married late in life.他结婚很晚。
marry 是终止性动词,不能和表示一段时间的状语连用。试译:
我结婚3年了。
误:I have married for three years.
正:I have been married for three years.
be married 常用于表示婚姻状况,married 在这里指状态。如:
Is she married?她结了婚没有?
He was not married when I knew him.我认识他时,他还没有结婚。
注意:marry 和 be married 都不可接介词 with,但 be married 后面可接介词 to。试译:
她和一个姓王的同志结了婚。
误:She has been married with a Comrade Wang.
正:She has married a Comrade Wang.
