Ⅰ. arrive, reach, get to 均有“到达”之意,意义基本相同,但arrive(in)/(at) 与reach, 是正式用语,get to 是通俗用词,常用于口语。 Ⅱ. arrive 是不及物动词,表到达什么地点时,后面应接前置词in或at, 一般说,到达一个大地方常用in, 到达较小的地方常用at, 但这不绝对的。(与地点副词连用时当然不用任何前置词)如: ① He arrived in Beijing yesterday. ② When he arrived at the stop, the bus had left. Ⅲ. reach 是及物动词,后面直接跟表地点的名词。如: When does the train reach London? Ⅳ. get to 只是较口语化。接地点副词时不用to. 如: ① He got to the shop at 5:00 o’clock this afternoon. ② When I got there, the film had been on for 5 minutes. |
