现在人们仿佛感到,have既然可作助动词,干脆就把它与其它助动词一样看待,另加一个动词。现在常加的动词是get。在现代英语中,Have yougot a bike?和Have you a bike?含义已经完全相同。第一句中的got是有其字而无其义的。当have用作情态动词时,也常加上一个get,如I have got to go now(=I have to go now。) have与直接宾语连用,如How many brothers have you?是较传统的用法,在现代英语中(尤其是口语),have got更为常见。
Now people seem to feel that since they can be used as auxiliary verbs, they simply treat it like other auxiliary verbs, plus one more verb. The verb that is often added now is get. In modern English, Have you got a bike? and Have you a bike? The got in the first sentence has its own word and no meaning. When has been used as a modal verb, it is often added with a get, such as I have got to go now (=I have to go now.) Have used with direct objects, such as How many brothers have you? is more traditional usage, In modern English (especially spoken), have got more common.
