Becoming
“Becoming” 主要是 “become” 的现在分词，用于进行时（is becoming clear）。作形容词时较少见，意为“得体的、相称的”（a becoming dress）。与 “变得” 相关的名词化用法如 “becoming a parent”。
- “The weather is becoming warmer.” (天气正变暖。)
- “She is becoming more confident at work.” (她在工作中越来越自信。)
- “That hat is quite becoming on you.” (那顶帽子你戴着很得体。)
“Become” 由古英语 “becuman”（发生、来到）演变，“be-” + “cuman”（来）→ 逐渐“成为”。
“-ing” 为现在分词后缀；形容词义 “becoming” 属历史遗留用法，与分词同形。
励志语境常说 “becoming the best version of yourself”；时尚评论里 “becoming” 形容衣着得体。
- 固定搭配: “becoming clear” (变得清楚), “becoming popular” (越来越流行), “becoming of” (与……相称)
- 原形: become；过去式: became；过去分词: become
become 去 e 加 ing → becoming：正在“成为”的路上就是 becoming。
“Becoming a teacher was becoming real for Ana. The role was becoming her, and the smile was becoming permanent.” (成为教师对 Ana 越来越像真的。这个角色越来越适合她，笑容也越发常驻。)
