语感
acquaint = 建立初步认识——be acquainted with 是状态,acquaint sb. with 是动作
使熟悉(动词)相识,认识(be acquainted with)
陷阱
⚠️acquaint sb. with(介词 with,不说 acquaint to)
The manual will help acquaint you to the safety procedures before operating the machinery.
该手册将帮助您在操作机械前熟悉安全程序。(acquaint to 错误,应改为 acquaint you with)
acquaint 固定搭配介词 with(acquaint sb. with sth. = 使某人了解某事),不用 to;acquaint to 是错误搭配
The manual will help acquaint you with the safety procedures before operating the machinery.
该手册将帮助您在操作机械前熟悉安全程序。
⚠️acquaintance = 点头之交(非深交朋友)
He described the man as a business acquaintance he had met at a conference two years ago, not a close friend.
acquaintance = friend(相识,朋友,关系程度差不多)
acquaintance(泛泛相识,见过面、认识但没有深交的人;a business acquaintance = 生意上认识的人,不一定熟悉);friend(朋友,有情感连接的深度关系);两词在英语中程度截然不同,不可互换
他将此人描述为两年前在一次会议上认识的生意上的相识,而非亲密朋友。(acquaintance = 泛泛相识,friend = 深交朋友)

Q1搭配还原

Q2对错判断
判断下面句子里的用法是否正确:

acquaintance(泛泛相识)用法正确,且句中「略有认识」(knew briefly)恰好印证了 acquaintance 比 friend 关系浅的特点
Q3近义选词
选择最恰当的词填空:
New residents are encouraged to ___ themselves with local emergency procedures, including evacuation routes and assembly points.
Aacquaint
Bfamiliarise
✓ 鼓励新居民熟悉当地紧急程序,包括疏散路线和集合点。
此句用反身代词 themselves,familiarise oneself with(使自己熟悉)是最自然的表达;acquaint oneself with 也可,但 familiarise 更通用,且在此类实用指引中更高频
