2013高考英语备考：be familiar with 用法说明

　　be familiar with,be familiar to

　　be familiar with的主语是有生命的事，意为“某人对人、事熟悉”;be familiar to 的主语是无生命的事物，意为“某人/事为某人所熟悉”，对比:He is very familiar with the names of plants in English.他很熟悉植物的英语名称。Suzhou and Hangzhou are familiar to many foreigners.苏州和杭州为许多外国人所熟悉。

　　I’m not familiar with European history./European history is not familiar to me.我对欧洲历史不太熟悉。

　　注意：be familiar with/to 还表示“精通、通晓”

　　如：French is as familiar to him as English.他对法语就象对英语一样精通。

　　[应用] 一句多译①这些事实是每个学生都熟悉的。②她精通4种语言。

　　Key:①These facts are familiar to every schoolboy./Every shoolboy is familiar with these facts.

　　②She is familiar with four languages./Four languages are familiar to her.
