■ reach

[transitive]

(especially written)

to arrive at the place you have been travelling to; to come to sb's attention 到达；抵达；引起⋯注意

◆It took them three hours to reach the opposite shore.他们花了三个小时到达了对岸。

NOTE 辨析 Get or reach?The main difference between these words is register. Reach is used especially in written English; get is the usual word in spoken English. Get takes no object, but always takes an adverb or adverbial phrase, often one that is not specific, when the listener is expected to understand the place that is meant by there, in or back. Reach always takes an object and is usually more specific about the place that is arrived at. 这两个词的主要区别在于语体风格不同。reach尤用于书面语，get常用于口语。get不带宾语，但总是带副词或副词短语，常不指明具体地点，而用there、in或back表明听者应知道所说的地方是哪里。reach总带宾语，一般较具体地指明到达何处。
