Get lost既不是“丢了”，也不是“迷路了”！真正的意思你绝对想不到！

新来的外教在英语角

谈到美国的迪士尼

说了一句

Let's get lost in Disneyland!

什么意思呢?

get lost 迷路?迷失?

在迪士尼迷路?迷失在迪士尼?

当然都不对啦!

1

如果

你的思想走丢到一件事情上

迷失于这件事,

陶醉于其中

就是这个短语的意思啦

lost=全神贯注的，陶醉于其中的

get lost in sth=沉醉于其中

例：

I want to get lost in Disneyland and never leave.

我想永远沉浸在迪士尼乐园(的童话气氛中)。

I get lost in your beautiful brown eyes.

我被你漂亮的眼睛迷得神魂颠倒。

非主流用语-Get Lost!

get lost

used to tell someone forcefully and quite rudely to go away滚开！

(粗鲁的不客气的表达)

get lost在口语中还能表示“走开，别捣乱”，

与get out的感情色彩有点像，

例：

Tell him to get lost!

叫他滚开!

Get lost! You're making too much noise.

滚开!你制造太多噪音了。

在表示“迷路”时，get lost和be lost的区别

Difference between get lost and be lost

get (= 'become') indicates a change of state

get等于become暗示了一种状态的变化

be describes someone's situation, without referring to getting into or out of that situation

be描述某人的处境，没有涉及进入或脱离那种情况

Basically, you have to get/become lost before you can be lost. They're not quite the same thing!

基本上，在你be lost之前，你必须先get/become lost。它们不完全是一回事！

-What did you do in London? / What happened to you in London? 

你在伦敦做了什么？或者是你在伦敦怎么了

– I got lost!✔

我迷路了！

- What happened in London? 

在伦敦发生了什么？

– I was lost. ✘

我迷路。

– I didn't ask what you were, I asked what you did!

我不是问你是什么，我是问你做了什么！
