【适用场合】

今天我们来一起学习一下settle in的用法。

settle in可以理解成：“适应新环境、安顿下来”；

to become familiar with somewhere new, such as a new house, job, or school, and to feel comfortable and happy there；

eg: Once we've settled in, we'll have you over for dinner.

一旦我们安顿下来，一定要请你过来吃饭。

eg: Well, how are you settling in after a week working here?

嗯，你在这里工作一周了，适应得怎么样？

eg: I was surprised by how easily I settled into life in the country.

我惊讶于自己竟然如此轻松地适应了乡村生活。

eg: I need a little time to settle in, then I can think about buying a car.

我需要一点时间安顿下来，之后才能考虑买车的事。

eg: It took a month for us to settle in after the move.

我们搬家后花了一个月才安顿下来。

而且因为英语中有settle sb. in 这样的用法，表示“帮助某个人适应新环境；安顿某人”；所以我们也可以说sb. is settled in或者sb. gets settled in，此时的过去分词settled偏向于形容词的用法。

eg: We'll come and visit you after you get settled in.

等你安顿好了，我们就来看你。
