they may have a hard time getting accustomed to the shabby housing and primitive facilities and slack off at work.我想问一下这里getting accustomed to =getting accustome to 吗？翻译成逐渐习惯于
1_就是这个短语，= have time in doing sth. 但是介词常常不用。doing sth. 是方面状语。
2_讲解3的补充：He is getting/becoming accustomed to 这才是谓语。
have a hard time getting accustomed to z中的谓语动词是 have，而 getting 是非谓语动词作状语，说明在那个方面 have a hard time 。

Answer 1

只有过去分词 accustomed 才能用作系动词 get 的表语，而动词 accustome 不能用作表语。因此，getting accustomed to 是正确形式， getting accustome to 是错误的。具体分析如下——

1. accustom 是使役动词，意思是“使某人习惯于”，常用 accustom oneself to …（使自己习惯于; 某人自己养成...的习惯），把这个格式变为被动式的系表结构就是 be accustomed to … (某人习惯于…) 。这里的系动词也可以用 get /become（变得）。
2. be accustomed to …着重“处于…习惯的状态”，get/become accustomed to …着重“变成…习惯的状态”。
3. 如果用进行时态做谓语 be getting/becoming accustomed to…，意思就是“逐渐变得习惯于…”或者“逐渐变成习惯于…的状态”。
4. 这里的现在分词短语 getting accustomed to 是状语。
