  二、marry sb. 表示“嫁給某人、與某人結婚”。如:

George married a girl for her beauty. 喬治娶了一位姑娘,因爲她長得漂亮。

He wanted to marry Helen, but she married someone else. 他想娶海倫,但是她嫁給了別人。

  三、marry sb. to sb. 表示“(父母把女兒)嫁給某人”或“(父母爲兒子)娶媳婦”。如:

She married her daughter to a businessman. 她把女兒嫁給了一位商人。

She married her son to a rich woman. 她爲兒子娶了個有錢的女人。

  四、marry用作不及物動詞時,往往用副詞或介詞短語來修飾。如:

His uncle didn't marry until forty. 他的叔叔直到40歲才結婚。

She married when she was twenty years old. 她20歲時結了婚。

She married early / late in life. 她結婚很早 / 很晚。

Marry in haste and repent at leisure. (諺語)草率結婚後悔多。

  五、marry一般不與介詞with連用。如:

她和一位英國人結了婚。

【誤】 She married with an Englishman.

【正】 She married an Englishman.

【正】 She was / got married to an Englishman.

  六、若問某人是否已結婚,而不涉及結婚對象,用be / get married的形式,相當於系表結構。如:

你結婚了嗎?

【誤】 Do you marry? / Have you married?

【正】 Are you married? / Have you got married?

【特別提示一】 在西方國家,一般不要問別人的婚姻狀況,這是個人隱私。因此最好不要隨便問“Are you married? / How many children do you have?”之類的問題。當不知女士是Miss還是Mrs時,請用Ms稱呼。

【特別提示二】 一個名叫Mary Smith的女士,婚前可稱之爲Miss Smith;嫁給Mr Brown後,她便改稱爲Mary Brown,也可稱之爲Mrs Brown。
