get sb over to the house

问题描述

美剧《真探》第一集里有这样一句话：

Took 3 months till we got him over to the house for dinner.

花了三个月时间才请到他去我家吃饭。

这里的get sb over to...该如何理解呢？

老师答疑

刘老师：

【答】over是副词（ADV），意为“去，到（某处）”；有时，暗指道路有障碍或者路途遥远。

《柯林斯词典》的解释是：

If you go over to a place, you go to that place.

I got out the car and drove over to Dervaig. 我把车开出来，驶向德韦格。

I thought you might have invited her over. 我以为你可能已经邀请她过来了。

▲over的这种用法经常跟表示“位置移动的词语”连用。例如：come, go, walk, run, drive, rush, move, ride, fly, step, hurry, skip, get, take, bring, call, send等，然后跟to，再接地点。构成句型1：V. + over to +地点。

如果是及物动词，构成句型2：V. + 宾语 + over to +地点，如你的例句。

句型1：V. + over to +地点
