Question

The days are getting longer and longer after the winter solstice.冬至过后,天变得越来越长
getting和growing那一个更合适,grow侧重于逐渐变成某种状态

Answer 1

用 getting 比 growing 适合,
这不仅是字面意思的问题,也是习惯用法的问题.
grow 的字面意思是 “长大”, “长成”
单词 getting 和 becoming 有相同意思和用法.
我们可以说
I am getting old
或
I am growing old
但我们不说
the days are growing longer.
为什么呢?
用英语解释一下：
Days do not GROW longer, they become longer (or get longer)
