1. become (变成)
become可用任何名词、形容词或可作形容词用的现在分词或过去分词(即可以译为“...的”之类的分词)作表语。

2) The leaves were turning yellow (adj.) 树叶变黄了。
3) His face turned red with anger when he saw Mary. 看到玛丽时,他气得脸都红了。
4) She turned beautiful. (wrong) beautiful不是与颜色或情绪有关的形容词,故不可在turn之后作表语。

5) turn亦可用以表示转业,通常与名词连用,形成复合词,作形容词用。
Mr. Johnson is a soldier-turned famer. 约翰逊先生是个军人转业的农民。
3. get (变成)
get 通常用表“生气”或“激动”的形容词做表语。若用其他形容词时,宜用become。
1) He got mad (adj.) . 他生气了。
2) She got beautiful .( wrong)
---She became beautiful. 她变漂亮了。
3) Things have got good. (wrong)
---Things have become good. 事情变好了。
注意:
a) 若get用于进行时的结构中,之后可接任何形容词的比较级形态作表语。即:be getting more and more + 任何形容词。
1) She is getting more and more beautiful. 她越来越漂亮。
2) Things are getting better and better. 事情越来越顺利。
b) get + p.p. (被动语态) = be + p.p. 本句型表“被......”之意。get等于be动词,不可译为“变成”。
P.P.为past participle的缩写,即“过去分词”
He got killed in the accident.
=He was killed in the accident. 他在车祸中丧生。
If you are not careful, you'll get hurt. = If you are not careful, you'll be hurt. 你如果不小心点,就会受伤。
