问
I'm sure Betsy is the very girl whom you will be glad to get acquainted to. (全国研考)
我看不出上面的辨错题有什么错误。
答
acquainted 是个形容词, 意为“认识的”。be acquainted with sb./sth. 意为“认识某人/熟悉某事”, 表示的是状态, get/become acquainted 则表示从不认识到认识的动态过程(开始认识, 认识上)。不难看出, 上题中的 to 应改为 with。类例:
-
We are acquainted with each other, but are not friends. 我们相互认识,但并不是朋友。
-
Are you acquainted with the facts? 你知道这些事实吗？
