实用英语：GET的不同用法

Poor Harry! He always gets it wrong, no matter what he does. Last Wednesday was no different. Let me tell you what happened…

Harry had finally managed to get Amanda, a girl from work, to meet him for a coffee, after weeks of trying to get the courage to ask her out. He got to the café early, so that he could get the best table– somewhere quiet where they would not get disturbed by other customers. When Amanda arrived, she got a surprise to see Harry there on his own, as she was also expecting other people from the office. In fact, she got rather annoyed when she heard that no-one else was coming, but she decided to stay for a coffee anyway.

She started telling Harry that she had got the bus to the café, and when she was getting off the bus, her bag had got caught in the door and the bus driver had shouted at her. “It really gets me” she said, “how some people are so rude – I mean, it wasn’t my fault!”

Just as she was getting to the end of her story, Harry suddenly started getting very hot and sweaty, and realised with horror that he was just about to get sick! “Oh no, I’m getting food poisoning” he thought, remembering the 4-day old sausages he had eaten for breakfast. Without a word, he ran from the table, leaving Amanda to get the bill.

从上面可以看出，GET以16种不同意思出现。然后我们来改写一下故事，把上面粗体GET所在的词组用其他动词表述，更明确深入地理解一下不同GET分别是什么意思：

Poor Harry! He always does things in the wrong way. Last Wednesday was no different. Let me tell you what happened…

Harry had finally managed to persuade Amanda, a girl from work, to meet him for a coffee, after weeks of trying to find the courage to ask her on a date. He arrived at the café early, so that he could obtain the best table – somewhere quiet where they would not be disturbed by other customers. When Amanda arrived, she received a surprise to see Harry there on his own, as she was also expecting other people from the office. In fact, she became rather annoyed when she heard that no-one else was coming, but she decided to stay for a coffee anyway.

She started telling Harry that she had taken the bus to the café, and when she was alighting from the bus, her bag had accidentally become caught in the door and the bus driver had shouted at her. “It really annoys me” she said, “how some people are so rude – I mean, it wasn’t my fault!”

Just as she was reaching the end of her story, Harry suddenly started becoming very hot and sweaty, and realised with horror that he was just about to vomit! “Oh no, I’m becoming ill with food poisoning” he thought, remembering the 4-day old sausages he had eaten for breakfast. Without a word, he ran from the table, leaving Amanda to pay the bill.

以上两段文本应该能够帮助大家很好地理解了GET的用法，可以看出GET被替换的这段话显得更正式一些，所以平时GET更多地还是用于不太正式的口语中。如果想更好地验证一下自己有没有掌握GET一词的用法，可以动手写一写自己的生活故事并尽量用到GET一词。
