如题所述
marry的意思是“和……结婚,娶,嫁”,既可以做及物动词使用,也可以做不及物动词使用。过去式和过去分词married,现在分词marrying,第三人称单数marries,名词形式marriage,反义词通常使用divorce。
用法1、marry somebody=get/be married to somebody 和某人结婚(可灵活翻译为娶、嫁)
例:Alice married Tom in September last year. = Alice was married to Tom in September last year.艾利丝和汤姆去年九月结的婚。
注意:
与某人结婚不能使用介词with例如Tom is married with her这样的用法是错误的。
用法2、marry A to B 表示父母等长辈把A许配给B或者为B娶A作媳妇。
例:Her mom didn't agree to marry her to Smith. 她妈不同意把她许配给史密斯。

用法1中的 be married to somebody可以看做是该用法的被动形式

How long have you been married? 你们结婚多久了?
用法4、marry用作不及物动词时一般与状语联用或者表示“自然混合”的意思。
