“reach”,“arrive”或“get”均表示“到达”之意reach是及物动词,后接宾语。例如: 1. They crossed the mountainsand reached this quiet place. 他们翻过山来到这个宁静的地方。 2. They reached Beijing by spe-cial plane on March 7. 他们于三月七日乘专机到达北京。arrive可作不及物动词和及物动词,但作及物动词时,要和介词at或in连用。例如: 1. We arrived safely. 我们安全地到达。 2. It was getting dark when theyarrived at the village. 当他们到达村子时,天已经渐渐黑下来了。 3. What time does the planearrive in Gaungzhou? 飞机什么时候到达广州? 一般来说arriveat指到达较小的地方:arrive in指到达较大的地方。 get作为“到达”某一地方来说,一般要加“to”,然后接宾语,但后接副词时,则不用加 “to”如get home, get there)。例如: 1. It takes more than three daysto get there by spaceship 坐宇宙飞船要花三天多时间到达那里 2. In 1969 two Americans got tothe moon dy spaceship. 在一九六九年两个美国人坐宇宙飞船到达过月球。 去年省中考试题中有一题选择填空,就是要求区别这三个动词的用法。如: When did you at the railwaystation? (A. reach B. get C. arrive) 答案是C。因为A. reach是及物动词,后直接跟宾语,而句中有介词at,不能说成reach at。
