come true改为become true可以吗

问题描述

My dream has come true. 

句中的 come true 改为 become true 可以吗？

老师答疑

王老师：

问题解答如下：

Come true 常用于表示梦想、愿望、预言的实现，但不可以说something becomes true. (见外研社：柯林斯高级英语用法词典 p. 957)。但在英语中可以说 become a reality 或become real. 请看英美报刊的例句：

1. Glenn Blay has made his pilot dream become a reality.

2. In the words of one gardener, “it was a dream that has become real” to get a chance to participate in the Rainbow Garden.

W老师：

这里的 come true 最好不要改用 become true，因为这样用的 come true 是习语（属固定搭配）。如：

May all your wishes come true. 祝你所有心愿都成真。

The prediction seems to have come true. 预言似乎成真了。

I’ll make all your dreams come true. 我会使你的梦想都成为现实。

My fondest dreams have at last come true. 我最期望的理想最终实现了。

Our wishes will come true one of these days. 我们的愿望有一天会实现。

I’d always dreamt of owning my own house, but I never thought it would come true. 我以前一直梦想拥有属于自己的房子，但从没想到这会成为现实。

另外，a dream come true 也是习语，也用come，不用become：

Marriage to her is a dream come true. 结婚对她来说是梦想成真了。

Winning all that money was a dream come true. 赢得了那些钱，梦想终于实现了。

陈老师：

My dream has come true. 

句中的 come true 改为 become true 可以吗？
