方硕英语

be attached to

英 /bi əˈtætʃt tuː/美 /bi əˈtætʃt tu/

adj. 短语

依附于;喜爱;隶属于

词义解析

be attached to 的核心含义是“被连接或附着于某物”,本义指物理上的连接,如物体被系在或固定在另一物体上。由此引申出“情感上的依恋”,即对某人或某物有深厚的感情或忠诚。再进一步引申为“隶属于某个组织或团体”,表示正式从属关系。

词源解析

attach 源自法语 attachier,意为“系、绑”,由拉丁语 ad-(到)和 *taccare(钉)组成。be attached to 是被动语态,强调状态。记忆时可联想“被系在...上”,既指物理也指情感。

常见语境

日常口语中,常用于表达情感,如“I'm very attached to this old guitar.” 文学作品中,用来描绘人物间的深情或对地方的眷恋。学术写作较少用,但在描述附属关系时可能出现,如“The university is attached to a research institute.” 商务邮件中可能指文件附件,如“Please see the attached file.” 但注意这通常用“attached”而非“be attached to”。

语法说明

be attached to 中 to 是介词,后接名词或代词。常见句型:主语 + be attached to + 宾语。易错点:不要漏掉 to,或将 to 误认为不定式标志。被动结构中,be 动词随主语变化。

近义比较

be attached to 强调连接或依恋;be connected to 更中性,指物理或逻辑连接;be devoted to 强调奉献和忠诚;be fond of 仅指喜欢,不强调连接。选择时,若强调情感纽带用 attached,若强调功能连接用 connected。

常见误区

be attached to 语域中性,但在正式写作中,若表达“附属”可能用 be affiliated with 更正式。情感上,attached 通常有正面色彩,但过度使用可能显得依赖。常见误用:将 be attached to 用于短暂或浅层关系,如“I'm attached to this coffee”不自然。

常见搭配

be deeply attached to深深地依恋
be strongly attached to强烈地依附于
be attached to a file附在文件上
be attached to an organization隶属于某组织
be attached to a person依恋某人
be attached to a place眷恋某地
be attached to an idea坚持某个想法
