说到“变得怎么样”,你脑子里第一个蹦出来的是不是 become?其实英语里还有 get、go、turn 这些高频替代表达,用法各有讲究,不能乱用。

今天就来手把手教你区分这些“变化动词”,不仅表达更地道,还能拓展一大波常用搭配!

一、get = 变得(更口语,最常见)get 用来表示某种状态上的变化,通常搭配形容词,语气自然、口语化,非常适合日常对话。

She got tired with running.她跑得很累。

I get awfully tired of those things.我变得非常厌烦那些东西。

It’s getting late. Let’s go home.天色晚了,咱们回家吧。

As autumn sets in, it is getting colder.随着秋天的到来,天气变得越来越冷了。

小贴士:get 更偏口语;become 更书面、正式,意思基本一样。

例: It became clear that he was lying.(很明显他在说谎)

二、go = 往“坏的方向”变化,或“变色”go + 形容词 通常表示负面或生理性变化,而且常跟颜色搭配,形象又地道!

1. 表示变色Leaves go brown in autumn.树叶在秋天变黄了。

He went red with anger.他气得脸都红了。

She went pale when she heard the news.她听到消息后脸色变得苍白。

2. 表示生理或状态恶化People go mad/crazy/bald/deaf/blind.人会发疯/变秃/失聪/失明。

His hair is going grey.他的头发正在变白。

3. 物品变质、出问题Milk goes sour.牛奶变酸了。

The beer went flat.啤酒变得没气了。

The machine went wrong again.机器又出故障了。

go 通常指“不可逆”的变化,比如变坏、出毛病、生病等。而且 go 不和 old, tired, ill 连用 —— 注意别踩坑。

三、turn = 变色、变质,也能“转行”turn 表示变化时,语气比 go 正式一些,既能用于颜色或状态变化,也能用于角色身份的转换。

1. 表颜色、状态变化His father's hair turned grey in a few weeks.他父亲的头发在几周内变白了。

The weather turned cold before Christmas.圣诞节前天气变冷了。

The milk will turn sour if you don’t chill it.牛奶不冷藏的话会变酸。

2. turn + 名词 = “变成某种身份”He turned writer after leaving his job.他辞职后变成了一名作家。

She had to turn cook when her maid left.女仆离开后,她不得不自己做饭。

turn + 职业/身份 是一种特别地道的说法,很多教材不讲,但外国人常说。

四、总结一句话:这些“变化”词用错,意思就变味了!动词常搭配语气/场合示例get形容词(tired, cold, angry...)最口语,最常用He got tired quickly.become形容词、名词正式、书面He became a doctor.go颜色、负面状态自然过程、不可逆变化Milk goes sour. / He went mad.turn颜色、名词职业较正式,可具体可抽象The leaves turned yellow. / He turned teacher.五、小练习:你能选出正确表达吗?以下句子中哪一个使用动词错误?试着挑出来!

The bread has gone stale.

He got bald last year.

The weather is getting cold.

She turned nurse after the war.

答案是第2句: ❌ He got bald ❌ 不正确,bald 表示脱发这种自然状态应搭配 go, ✅ 正确表达应为:He went bald last year.

六、区别get:最口语,用得最多,强调“正在变”。

become:比较正式,写作文时很有用。

go:强调变化“变糟、变质”,尤其适合颜色和消极状态。

turn:既可以说颜色变了,也可以说人“转行、身份变了”。

英语中,“变化”也分方向、语气和具体语境,记住这些搭配和区别,表达就地道又精准!

七、延伸阅读:常见搭配表达含义示例go crazy发疯He went crazy after losing his job.get angry生气She got angry when he was late.turn sour变酸 / 闹翻The milk turned sour. / Their friendship turned sour.become famous成名He became famous overnight.go rusty生锈The bicycle went rusty in the rain.学英语不仅要记住单词,更要分清那些“看似一样”的词怎么用。 get / become / turn / go 虽然都能表示“变化”,但场景不同,用对才地道。 多看看例句、多读原文、多开口说,才能真正把这些词变成你的“母语思维”!
