④常见错误例析:

a.你结婚了没有?

[误]Have you married?

[正]Are you married? Have you got married?

[析]询问别人是否结婚,实质上是问其婚姻状态,应用be mar-ried;也可用表示动作的get married的完成时来表示其结果对现在的影响。

b.你什么时候结婚的?

[误]When did you marry?

[正]When did you get married? When did you marry Alice/Jim?

[析]此处若用marry,其后应接宾语,意即:你什么时候娶/嫁给某某的?否则,应用词组get married。

c.我们结婚已有两年。

[误]We have married for two years.

[正]We have been married for two years.We got married two years ago.

[析]单个的marry一词不能用于表达这样的意义,应用词组be married或get married,前者表示状态,可以和表示一段时间的时间状语连用,后者表示动作,为瞬间动词,不可和表示一段时间的时间状语连用。

d.你可以带着四个孩子改嫁。

[误]You can be married to four children.

[正]You can be married with four children.

[析]“和……结婚”只需用marry,而不需接with,因为marry为及物动词。marry sb.with a child意为“带着孩子改嫁”或“娶/嫁给一个有孩子的人”等。

e.她嫁给了一个律师。

[误]She married with a lawyer.

[误]She married to a lawyer.

[正]She married a lawyer.

[正]She was married to a lawyer.

[析]“嫁给某人”应说:marry sb.或be married to sb.,而不能说marry with/to sb.。
