如果你用could not代替Never got to这句话的意思是一样的吗?

是的, never got to could not ,但是由于它比could not更戏剧性,所以细微差别发生了变化。 Could not表示我不能做某事,但是never got to表示我不能做某事,尝试了多次但失败了。 Could not也更正式的表达比never got to 。例子: I could not cook dinner for her. ( I never got to cook dinner for her.不能I never got to cook dinner for her.做I never got to cook dinner for her. )例子: I never got to cook dinner for her. (我从未为她提供晚餐。)在上面的示例中, could not说某件事阻止了我为她做晚餐。但是在第二个例子中, never got to办法wasn't able to 。这句话意味着有很多机会,但是没有时间为她做晚饭。
