marry既可用作及物動(dòng)詞,也可用作不及物動(dòng)詞,意為"結(jié)婚;嫁;娶;與......結(jié)婚"等。常見用法如下:
一、sb marry sb表示"嫁給某人;與......結(jié)婚"。例如:
John married Mary last week.上星期約翰和瑪麗結(jié)婚了。
二、sb be/get married to sb表示“與某人結(jié)婚”。例如:

三、sb marry sb to sb表示“父母把女兒嫁給某人”或“為兒子娶媳婦”。例如:

四、marry作不及物動(dòng)詞時(shí),往往用副詞或介詞短語來修飾。例如:

五、marry 一般不與介詞with 連用。例如:
她和一位英國(guó)人結(jié)了婚。
【誤】She married with an Englishman.
【正】She married an Englishman.
【正】She was / got married to an Englishman.
六、若問某某是否結(jié)婚,而不涉及結(jié)婚的對(duì)象,可用be / get married的形式,相當(dāng)于系表結(jié)構(gòu)。
例如:
你結(jié)婚了嗎?
【誤】 Do you marry?/ Have you married?
【正】 Are you married?/ Have you got married?
請(qǐng)看下面一組對(duì)話:
A: Is Helen married?
B: Yes, she is. She married a Frenchman.
A: When did they get married?
B: In 1998.
A: Then they have been married for six years.
a.你結(jié)婚了沒有?
[誤]Have you married?
[正]Are you married? Have you got married?
[析]詢問別人是否結(jié)婚,實(shí)質(zhì)上是問其婚姻狀態(tài),應(yīng)用be married;也可用表示動(dòng)作的get married的完成時(shí)來表示其結(jié)果對(duì)現(xiàn)在的影響。
b.你什么時(shí)候結(jié)婚的?
[誤]When did you marry?
[正]When did you get married? When did you marry Alice/Jim?
[析]此處若用marry, 其后應(yīng)接賓語,意即:你什么時(shí)候娶/嫁給某某的?否則,應(yīng)用詞組get married.
c.我們結(jié)婚已有兩年。
[誤]We have married for two years.
[正]We have been married for two years. We got married two years ago.
[析]單個(gè)的marry一詞不能用于表達(dá)這樣的意義,應(yīng)用詞組be married或get married, 前者表示狀態(tài),可以和表示一段時(shí)間的時(shí)間狀語連用,后者表示動(dòng)作,為瞬間動(dòng)詞,不可和表示一段時(shí)間的時(shí)間狀語連用。
d.你可以帶著四個(gè)孩子改嫁。
[誤]You can be married to four children.
[正]You can be married with four children.
[析]“和……結(jié)婚”只需用marry, 而不需接with, 因?yàn)閙arry為及物動(dòng)詞。marry sb. with a child意為“帶著孩子改嫁”或“娶/嫁給一個(gè)有孩子的人”等。
e.她嫁給了一個(gè)律師。
[誤]She married with a lawyer.
[誤]She married to a lawyer.
[正]She married a lawyer.
[正]She was married to a lawyer.
[析]“嫁給某人”應(yīng)說:marry sb.或be married to sb., 而不能說marry with/to sb.
1. I will return, find you, love you, marry you and live without shame.
我會(huì)回去,找到你,愛你,娶你,活的光明正大。
2. In many societies children still marry someone of their parents' choice.
在許多社會(huì),子女結(jié)婚仍然只能聽從父母之命。
