مرور کلی

تا به حال هم‌اتاقی داشته‌اید که بدون اجازه ماست شما را بخورد؟ یا شاید همکار که در جلسات Zoom بیش از حد حرف می‌زند؟ همه ما در زندگی‌مان با افرادی سر و کار داریم.
برخی عالی هستند و برخی... دشوار. در انگلیسی، ما از یک عبارت خاص برای صحبت درباره این «حس و حال» استفاده می‌کنیم: get along.
این عبارت ساده و رایج است و آن را در فیلم‌ها می‌شنوید یا در TikTok می‌بینید. این عبارت هماهنگی بین افراد یا نبود آن را توصیف می‌کند! اگر از کسی خوشتان بیاید، شما get along هستید.
اگر با هم دعوا کنید، get along نیستید. به همین سادگی.
آیا دوست صمیمی دارید؟ احتمالاً شما با او به بهترین شکل get along هستید. این فعل عبارتی (phrasal verb) یک ابزار اجتماعی قدرتمند است.
کیفیت یک رابطه را توصیف می‌کند. حتماً به این معنی نیست که صمیمی‌ترین دوست هستید، بلکه فقط یعنی تنشی وجود ندارد. شما می‌توانید با رئیس‌تان get along باشید، حتی اگر با او بیرون نروید.
در انگلیسی بریتانیایی، اغلب می‌گویند get on که دقیقاً همان معنی را دارد. اجازه ندهید حرف اضافه شما را گیج کند. Along حس حرکت با هم را می‌دهد، on حس هم‌فکر بودن را.
هر دو ۱۰۰٪ درست هستند. اگر می‌خواهید آمریکایی به نظر برسید از along استفاده کنید و اگر می‌خواهید شبیه شخصیت‌های هری پاتر باشید از on. ساده است، نه؟
فقط سعی نکنید با یک شیر گرسنه get along شوید؛ آن شوخی معمولاً برای انسان پایان خوشی ندارد.

این گرامر چطور کار می‌کنه

این یک فعل عبارتی است. یعنی دو بخش دارد: فعل get و حرف اضافه along یا on. این دو با هم معنای جدیدی می‌سازند که مربوط به حرکت فیزیکی نیست، بلکه مربوط به ارتباط عاطفی است.
می‌توانید آن را به تنهایی به کار ببرید (مثلاً:
We get along
) یا با اضافه کردن with به یک شخص (مثلاً:
I get along with my sister
). فعل get بی‌قاعده است، بنابراین باید آن را برای زمان‌های مختلف تغییر دهید.

جدول صرف

فرم مثال معنا
Base I get along رابطه خوبی دارم.
Past I got along رابطه خوبی داشتم.
-ing We are getting along الان اوقات خوبی داریم.
3rd Person He gets along او رابطه خوبی دارد.

سطوح رسمی بودن

- دوستانه

We vibe well (در دیسکورد با دوستان).

- معمولی

We get along well
(استاندارد برای هر موقعیتی).

- رسمی

We maintain a positive rapport
(در مصاحبه شغلی).

الگوی ساخت

1
ساختن این جمله مسیر مشخصی دارد:
2
با فاعل شروع کنید (مثلاً: My parents).
3
فعل get را اضافه کنید (زمان درست را چک کنید، مثلاً: got).
4
حرف اضافه along یا on را اضافه کنید (مثلاً: along).
5
اگر از شخص دیگری نام می‌برید، with را اضافه کنید (مثلاً: with).
6
با شخص دیگر جمله را تمام کنید (مثلاً: their neighbors).

ترفند حافظه

به حرف A فکر کنید. A برای Along و A برای Amigos (دوست در اسپانیایی). اگر شما با کسی get along هستید، شما amigos هستید. شما در حال قدم زدن در along (طول) یک مسیر هستید بدون اینکه به هم تنه بزنید.

کی استفاده کنیم

هنگام توصیف دایره اجتماعی‌تان از این استفاده کنید. آیا به دوستی درباره یک قرار ملاقات جدید پیام می‌دهید؟ بگویید:
!We get along really well
.
در مصاحبه هستید؟ به آن‌ها بگویید:
I get along with all types of people
. برای خانواده و حیوانات خانگی هم جواب می‌دهد.
می‌توانید یک گروه کامل را توصیف کنید:
The whole team gets along
. این نشانه خوبی برای محیط کار است؛ جلسات خسته‌کننده کمتر و کار مفیدتر.

هم‌اتاقی جدید چطوره؟
س

سام

عالی! ما کاملاً با هم get along هستیم.
م

معلم

آیا دانش‌آموزان در کلاس با هم خوب هستند (get along) ؟
و

والدین

بله، آن‌ها خیلی صمیمی هستند.

اشتباهات رایج

عبارت with را فراموش نکنید. خیلی‌ها می‌گویند
I get along my brother
که غلط است؛ باید بگویید
I get along with my brother
. اشتباه دیگر در ضمیر است: نگویید
We get along us
، فقط بگویید
We get along
. به زمان فعل هم دقت کنید: نگویید
We get along yesterday
بلکه از گذشته استفاده کنید
We got along yesterday
. استفاده از get along برای اشیاء هم عجیب است؛ شما با کامپیوترتان get along نمی‌شوید، فقط از آن استفاده می‌کنید.

مقایسه با الگوهای مشابه

عبارت get along با be friends متفاوت است. شما می‌توانید با کسی که دوستش ندارید get along باشید تا فقط دردسر درست نشود. دوستی عمیق‌تر است. همچنین با hang out فرق دارد که یک عمل است، در حالی که get along وضعیتی از رابطه است.

سؤالات رایج

س: آیا get along رسمی است؟
ج: معمولی است، همه جا می‌توانید استفاده کنید.
س: آیا برای پارتنرم می‌توانم استفاده کنم؟
ج: بله، برای زوج‌ها خیلی رایج است.
س: اگر از کسی بدم بیاید چه؟
ج: بگویید: "We don't get along."
س: آیا get on فقط برای اتوبوس است؟
ج: نه، در بریتانیا همان معنی get along را می‌دهد.
