答案：Amarried    露西上周一嫁给了凯文Lucy married Kevin last Monday

用法

1 vi 结婚  （注：vi为不及物动词，后无宾语。）

She married young (=at a young age) 她很早就结婚了。

2 marry sb 娶了某人，嫁了某人，与某人结婚

She married a rich man 她嫁给了一个有钱人。I’m going to ask her to marry me on St Valentine’s Day 我打算让她在情人节嫁给我。She was determined to marry all of her daughters to rich men 她决定把所有的女儿嫁给有钱人。

3 be/get married to sb 娶了某人，嫁了某人，与某人结婚

Nicole is married to my brother for 3 years Nicole嫁给我的哥哥三年了。We’re getting married (=marrying) next month 我们下个月结婚。I was married to my job （喻）我全身心投入工作。

解析：marry和get married是非延续的概念，故不可和表示”一段时间”的含义用在一起。汉语中常说的如”他结婚三年了”不能直译成He married for three years或He got married for three years，而应当表述为She married 3 years ago或She’s been married for 3 years

marry的文化意义：marry的含义既有”嫁”，也有”娶”，体现了英语文化中的平等观念，而汉语中”嫁”和”娶”是两个概念，体现了汉语文化的”有序”的特点。
