用法說明

How is "Accustom" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Accustom"?

accustom doing vs accustom to do

  • accustom doing 並非標準英語用法。動詞 "accustom" 後面不直接接動名詞 (V-ing)。
  • 正確的結構是 accustom oneself/someone to + noun/gerund。這裡的 "to" 是介系詞,因此後面接名詞或動名詞 (V-ing)。
  • 另一個常見結構是 be/become/get accustomed to + noun/gerund,表示「習慣於...」的狀態。
  • 若要表達「習慣去做某事」的動作意向,可使用 accustom oneself to do,但此用法較為正式且少見,通常用 get used to doing 代替。

對比範例: EN: She tried to accustom herself to waking up early. 翻譯: 她試著讓自己習慣早起。

EN:He is accustomed to working long hours.

翻譯:他已經習慣長時間工作了。

總結建議

使用 "accustom" 時,記住其核心結構是 "accustom to + 名詞/動名詞" 或 "be accustomed to + 名詞/動名詞",避免直接接動詞原形或動名詞。

正式寫作注意:在正式或學術寫作中,"accustom" 較為書面化。若想表達更口語化的「習慣」,可使用 "get used to"。反之,在非常正式的文本中,"become accustomed to" 是比 "accustom oneself to" 更常見、更流暢的寫法。

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Accustom"?Which "Accustom" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×I am accustom to the cold weather.

I am accustomed to the cold weather.

「accustom」是動詞原形,表示「使習慣」的動作。描述「已經習慣」的狀態時,應使用形容詞「accustomed」。

×She accustomed with the noisy environment.

She became accustomed to the noisy environment.

「accustom」是及物動詞,通常需要搭配反身代名詞(oneself)或使用被動語態(be/become accustomed)。不能直接以「主詞 + accustomed」的形式作不及物動詞使用。

×I accustomed to eat dinner late.

I am accustomed to eating dinner late.

「be accustomed to」中的「to」是介系詞,後面應接名詞或動名詞(V-ing),而不是動詞原形。這是常見的介系詞後接錯誤。

×The training will accustom the soldiers for combat situations.

The training will accustom the soldiers to combat situations.

動詞「accustom」固定與介系詞「to」搭配,表示「使習慣於...」,不能使用「for」。

×It's a process to get accustom.

It's a process to get accustomed.

片語「get accustomed」是「become accustomed」的口語說法,表示「變得習慣」。其中的「accustomed」是形容詞,不可用動詞原形「accustom」替代。
