【问】 托福考题：Much to our surprise，she____to like Japanese food.
 A. has become B. becomes C. should come D. came
 我不理解come to在这里的含义。
 【答】 现代语言家们将come to以及appear to，get to，happen to，seem to看作是链接动词(catenative)，后面跟动词不定式。
 come to常常与静态动词(如know，understand，be，love，like，live)连用。大家知道，像know这样的静态动词是没有动作的起点的。如果要想使这样的动词表达出有起点的意思，常常需要加上come to或get to，如come to rest(静止下来)，come(get) to love(爱上)，come(get)to know (结识，认识上)，come(get)to like(喜欢上)。这就是说，come(get) to能够使静态动词具有动态含义。
