請看下面一道高考題:
We're going to ________ with some friends for a picnic. Would you like to join us?
A. get in B. get over C. get along D. get together
本題是考查與get搭配的短語動詞,選A或B顯然不對。get in是"進入"、"到達"、"收獲"等意思;get over是"越過"、"走過"、"恢復"等意思。不少考生沒看清上下文,便選了C,因為他們熟悉get along with是"與......相處"的意思。其實,正確答案為D。get together是"聚集"、"聚會"的意思。本句的句意是:"我們打算與一些朋友聚會野餐。你想參加嗎?"與together搭配的短語動詞常見的有:
