1 arrive 是不及物动词,意为“到达”,“到达某地”要说“arrive at+小地点”,如邮局、学校、车站;“arrive in+大地点”,如地区、城市、国家。arrive 后不可直接跟名词,但可直接跟副词,如:arrive home (到家),arrive here (到达这里),arrive there (到达那里)。
They arrived at the village last night. 他们昨天夜里到达了那个村庄。
They arrived in Nanjing yesterday. 他们昨天到达南京。(不可说arrive Nanjing )
Has he arrived home yet? 他到家了吗?(不可说arrive at home)
2 get 作“到达”解时,为不及物动词,同to连用,较口语化,“get to+地点名词”为正确结构,但同副词连用时,不可用to,如:get home (到家),get here (到这里)。
They will get to Shanghai next week. 他们将在下周到达上海。
We shall go to see her as soon as she gets home . 她一到家我们就去看她。
3 reach 意为“到达”,是及物动词,其后直接跟宾语。
They reached the top of the mountain at last. (正)他们最终到达了山顶 。
They reached at the top of the mountain at last. (误)
提示
①arrive at/in, get to和reach常可换用,但要注意搭配不同。
②arrive, get to和reach均为非延续性动词,不可同表示一段时间的状语连用。
