「習慣」的英文用法
先來看在英文裡面表示「習慣」的用法。
這些都是使用頻率較高的片語,包括有:
・be used to ~
・get accustomed to ~
・get familiar with ~
・adjust to ~
・ease into ~
・settle into ~
接下來就讓我們來一一說明。
be used to ~
be used to : 對~習慣
這邊的「used」當作形容詞,因此to的後面要接名詞或是動名詞。「be used to」表示該動作、行為經多次重複而變成習慣。
be used to的例句
I am used to studying English.
我很習慣念英文。
I am used to chopping vegetables because I make smoothies every morning.
我很習慣切菜,因為每天早上都會自己打果昔喝。
I exercise for 30 minutes every day, so I am used to running.
我每天都會運動三十分鐘,所以對跑步已經很習慣了。
She goes abroad every month, so she is used to long flights.
她每個月都會出國,所以很習慣於長途飛行。

他每天都會固定念一個小時的英文,所以念書對他來說已經很習慣了。
I am used to taking care of dogs.

這種用法不只可以用在現在式,也能以不同時態(例如:過去式、未來式)表示不同時期的習慣。

我以前參加英文線上會話課程的時候,很習慣每天都用英文作會話練習。

他小時候玩過很多遊戲,所以那對他一點都不陌生。
接下來介紹另一個和be used to很相似的用法「get used to~」。它和前者一樣,在to的後面都要接名詞或動名詞。
get used to的例句

用get的進行式時態所造出來的句子,可以表達出「逐漸習慣」、「越來越習慣」的意思。

我對這份工作慢慢習慣了。
get accustomed to ~
get accustomed to:對~習慣、對~熟悉
※accustomed:(形容詞)習慣
它和前面介紹的get used to比起來,算是更為正式的用法。而文法上也是在to的後面接名詞或動名詞。
He is finally getting accustomed to his new job.
他終於習慣他的新工作了。
I am sure I will get accustomed to my new surroundings next year.
我相信我明年一定就會熟悉新環境了。

adjust to ~
adjust to:對~習慣、對~適應
這個用法強調的是靠自身努力去適應,或是在環境、外力規範之下,不得不去作調整的情況。常用於表示去「調整」行程。
它的使用頻率很高,希望各位盡量可以記起來。

我已經搬來這裡一個月了,對新環境也逐漸熟悉下來。
