used to know 这一说法对吗?used to 的意思是“过去经常”,know 是个心理状态动词,好像不宜与 used to 搭配似的,就好比我们不能说often know一样。但是,问题是我确实看到了这样一个句子:
Graham ran into someone he used to know at school the other day.
请问这个句子对吗?如果没有问题,应该如何翻译?(重点是翻译 used to know)
英语可以说 used to know,例如:
Used you to know him (Did you use to know him)? (Palmer)(张道真主编《现代英语用法词典》修订版 p.1739)
Graham ran into someone he used to know at school the other day. 的意思是:前几天Graham 遇见了一个以前在学校认识的人。
