1. be used to
be used to要看在句子中所要表達的意思來判斷後面跟動詞不定式"do"還是動名詞"doing"。
如果是「被用於...」的意思,是動詞不定式做目的狀語:
The computer can be used to help with study, but it can also be used to play games.
電腦可以用來輔助學習,但也可以用來玩遊戲。
但多數情況下是「習慣於」意思,句子中to是介詞,介詞後跟名詞,代詞或動名詞:
I'm used to living alone.
我習慣了一個人住。
I'm not used to getting up this early.
我不習慣這麼早起床。
Maria has got used to driving the car on the left.
瑪麗亞已經習慣了靠左開車。
Are you used to the climate?
你習慣這兒的氣候了嗎?
註:我們常常用used to do表示「過去常常;過去有」的意思(往往與現在情況相反):
I used to go jogging nearly everyday.
我過去幾乎每天都去慢跑。
Why don't you come and see me like you used to?
你為什麼不像以前那樣來看我?
I didn't use to read many books.
我過去不常看書。
試比較以下兩句話:
I used to wake up every morning at 5:00 a.m.
我以前每天早上5點起床。
I am used to waking up every morning at 5:00 a.m.
我習慣每天早上5點起床。
在以下表達中,to都是介詞,後跟名詞,代詞或動名詞:
2. look forward to期待;盼望;預期;預料
I'm really looking forward to your visit next week.
我真的很期待你下周的來訪。
I'm looking forward to visiting my family this Christmas—I haven't been home for the holidays in years!
我盼望著今年聖誕節能探望我的家人——我已經好幾年沒回家過節了!
