请看下面一道高考题:
We're going to ________ with some friends for a picnic. Would you like to join us?
A. get in B. get over C. get along D. get together
本题是考查与get搭配的短语动词,选A或B显然不对。get in是"进入"、"到达"、"收获"等意思;get over是"越过"、"走过"、"恢复"等意思。不少考生没看清上下文,便选了C,因为他们熟悉get along with是"与......相处"的意思。其实,正确答案为D。get together是"聚集"、"聚会"的意思。本句的句意是:"我们打算与一些朋友聚会野餐。你想参加吗?"与together搭配的短语动词常见的有:
