1.一般只用作及物动词,其宾语可以是“实现”的目标、目的等,也可以是“取得”的胜利、成功、名誉、地位等:Evrybody should be given the chance to achieve their aims. 要让每个人都有机会实现自己的目标。/ She achieved no success. 她有没获得成功。偶尔用作不及物动词 (表示“获得成功”或“如愿以偿”),但很少见:He achieved because he worked hard. 他因为工作努力获得了成功。2. 有时与 this, that, what, all, much, anything, nothing, a little 等代词连用,表示“获得 (成功)”或“取得 (成就)”等:No one can achieve anything without effort. 谁也不可能不努力而有所作为。All this cannot be achieved overnight. 这一切不是朝夕之间可做到的。I’ve achieved only half of what I hoped to do. 我只完成了我原想完成的一半。我只完成了我原想完成的一半。3. 因 achieve 一般与令人愉快的事 (如:成功、成就等)连用,所以不要受汉语的影响滥用此词表示一般意义的“达到”:
误:FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'">He will achieve the age of 25 next month.

误:The car achieved a speed of 150 mph.
