今天节目中我们一起来学习一下attached to sb./sth.

这样一个短语当中，attached可以理解成形容词的用法。

一般我们说be attached to sb./sth. 当然今天视频中grow attached to sb./sth. 当中grow也是系动词的用法，含义类似，都表示“对某个人/某个东西有强烈的感情”，只是更强调一种变化。

to have an emotional connection to someone or something

eg: The children are very attached to their grandparents.

孩子们非常喜欢他们的爷爷奶奶。

eg: I'm very attached to my old guitar.

我非常喜欢我的旧吉他。

eg: I really miss my ex-boyfriend at Christmastime—I guess I'm still attached to him after all.

在圣诞节的时候我特别想念我的前男友，我猜我终究还是太喜欢他了。

eg: I'm pretty attached to the idea of a tropical vacation—I've even been picturing myself on the beach!

我真的很喜欢去热带地区度假——我甚至都已经在想象自己在沙滩上的样子了！

eg: I tried to give away my daughter's childhood teddy bear, but apparently she's still quite attached to it.

我之前想把我女儿童年的泰迪熊玩具送人，但是很显然她还很喜欢它。

eg: She is very attached to her family and friends.

今天视频中还有一句话的句型值得学习：

I'm not gonna give them the satisfaction of knowing they were right.

我不会让她们得逞，让她们觉得自己很有先见之明的。

这个句型give sb. the satisfaction of doing sth.

给某个人一种做某件事情的满足感；

比如说：She didn't want to give him the satisfaction of seeing her cry.

她不愿当着他的面哭，让他幸灾乐祸。
