Accustomed
Unaccustomed as she was to seeing my father in the role of wounded hero, my mother rose to the occasion when he was carried in, and acted as any brave woman would. She fainted.
母亲还不习惯看到父亲以受伤英雄的角色出现,父亲被抬进来时,母亲随机应变,象任何勇敢的母亲都会做的那样,她晕倒了。
注:也可以这么说“看见父亲被抬进来,母亲晕倒了。”比例句的话简洁,但不如那么说好玩儿。
Unlike you, I am not accustomed to lying.
我和你不一样,我不习惯说谎。
注:如果对着一个经常说谎的人这么说就不幽默,但如果和一个好朋友开玩笑这么说,就有幽默感了。
I only work here because I've become accustomed to certain luxuries .... eating and living indoors.
我只在这儿工作,因为我已经习惯了某种奢华的生活…在室内吃住。
活学活用:I've become accustomed to certain luxuries, for example, sunbathing.
我已经习惯过某种奢侈的生活了,比方说晒太阳。
(现代人懒洋洋地晒太阳已经成为奢侈生活了)
