get doing vs get to do

  • get doing 表示「開始做某事」,強調動作的起始,通常帶有突然性或決心。
  • get to do 表示「有機會做某事」或「獲准做某事」,強調獲得機會或權限。
  • get + 過去分詞(如 get paid, get lost)則表示被動或狀態的變化,常帶有「使得…被…」的含義。

引述

在口語中,'get' 常用來引述或模仿他人的話語,特別是日常對話或非正式的指示。 EN: He was like, "Just get over here!" 翻譯: 他當時就說:「你給我過來!」

EN:She told me, "You need to get it done by five."

EN:You've got to be kidding me!

翻譯:你肯定是在開玩笑吧!

停頓填充

在思考或組織句子時,'get' 有時會作為填充詞的一部分出現,尤其是在 'you get' 或 'I get' 這類短語中,用來爭取時間或連接想法。 EN: It's like, you get... a feeling that something's wrong. 翻譯: 這就像是,你會有種…感覺不太對勁。

EN:So then I had to, you know, get... all my stuff together.

翻譯:所以那時我必須,你知道的,把…我所有的東西整理好。

正式寫作注意:上述口語用法(尤其是用於引述、強調語氣或作為停頓填充)在正式書面語(如學術論文、商業報告、官方文件)中應避免使用。請改用更精確、完整的動詞(如 understand, obtain, become)和標準的句子結構。

常見錯誤

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

×I got a cold.

I have a cold. / I've got a cold. / I caught a cold.

在表達「生病」時,'get a cold' 強調的是「染上感冒」的動作,通常用於描述過程。當描述已生病的狀態時,應使用 'have a cold' 或 'have got a cold'。'I got a cold' 在口語中雖偶爾出現,但被視為不正式或不精確。

×I will get there at 8 o'clock.

I will arrive there at 8 o'clock. / I will get there at 8.

'get to + 地點' 表示「到達」,但 'get there/here/home' 等副詞前不加 'to'。然而,在正式或書面語中,表達具體的抵達時間時,使用 'arrive' 比 'get' 更為精確和恰當。'get' 在此情境下較為口語化。

×I got my hair cut yesterday.

I had my hair cut yesterday. / I got a haircut yesterday.

'get + 受詞 + 過去分詞' 是使役被動結構,表示請別人做某事,語法上正確。但在描述理髮這類個人護理服務時,'have one's hair cut' 是更傳統、更常見的說法。'got my hair cut' 在口語中可接受,但 'had' 是更標準的選擇。使用 'got a haircut' 則是完全不同的動名詞結構,也更為自然。

×I am getting used to live in a big city.

I am getting used to living in a big city.

片語 'get used to' 中的 'to' 是介系詞,後面必須接名詞或動名詞 (V-ing),而不是動詞原形。這是學習者常混淆 'used to do'(過去習慣)和 'be/get used to doing'(習慣於)所導致的錯誤。

×Can you get me a coffee?

Can you get me a coffee? (正確,但語意模糊) / Can you buy me a coffee? / Can you get a coffee for me?

'Can you get me a coffee?' 在語法上正確,但 'get' 的語意廣泛(可能是拿、買、煮)。在特定情境下(如在咖啡廳),為了更清晰地表達「購買」的意思,使用 'buy' 會比 'get' 更精確,避免誤會。若使用 'get',補充 'from the cafe' 等資訊會更清楚。

×I got to go now.

I have got to go now. / I've got to go now. / I have to go now.

'have got to' 是 'have to' 的口語強調形式,表示「必須」。在快速口語中可能縮略為 'I gotta go',但在書寫或正式口語中,省略 'have' 而只寫 'I got to go' 是不符合標準文法的。應使用完整的 'I have got to' 或 'I have to'。
