词组 used to do/be used to
释义
used to do/be used to     

【问】 (A) I used to work hard.
 (B) I’m used to hard work.
 句(A)与句(B)中的used to有什么区别?
 【答】 在句(A)中,used to指的是过去的习惯性动作,目的在于与现在形成对照。I used toworkhard.是说“我过去常常努力工作”,暗含的意义是“我现在不努力工作了”。在表示过去的习惯性这一点上,与would的意义相同。从形态上看,used to是个情态动词,其中的to是不定式符号,后面跟的是动词不定式(work)。
 1. It used to be a very prosperous town. (Priestley)
 它过去曾是个非常繁荣的城市。

 你过去住在伦敦,是不是?
 3. We used to get up at 5 a. m. every morning all throughout the summer. (CGEL)
 过去整个夏天我们都是每天早晨5点起床。
 在句(B)中,used to +NP结构之前必须使用连系动词be,get,become等。在意义上相当于accustomed to(习惯于)。从形态上看,used是个分词型形容词,to是个介词,因此后面
 只能跟名词、代词或动名词。

 我习惯孤独。
 2. I’ve become used to a vegetarian diet. (COD)
