    逐字在多年的練習之後,美變成了一個很好的游泳者。

    「became」是 become 的過去式,用在「以前慢慢變成另一個樣子」的時候。become 講的是「從一個狀態走到另一個狀態」,所以 became 後面常接一個新身分或新狀態(became a teacher 當上老師、became cold 變冷了)。它跟 was 不一樣:was 是「本來就是」,became 是「後來才變成」。

    常見搭配

    • became a + job/role

      成為(某個身分)

      started to have a new job or position

      She studied hard and became a doctor.

core核心畫面

You can picture 'became' as the moment something crossed over into being a new thing — the past-tense snapshot of a change finishing in the past: she was a student, then she crossed the line and 'became' a doctor.

可以想成「became」是某個東西在過去「跨過界線、變成另一個樣子」的那一刻定格——它就是 become 的過去式。本來是 A,然後跨過去、變成了 B:他本來很安靜,後來 became 很愛說話。畫面比較像一條從舊狀態走進新狀態的線,而這條線是在過去走完的。
