arrive，reach和get都有“到达”的意思。arrive通常与介词at或in连用，它和reach是比较正式的用语;reach是及物动词;get通常与介词to连用，在口语中常用。arrive和get后接副词(如here, there, home等)时，不用介词。reach和arrive at还有“达成(协议)，作出(决定)”的意思。例如：

　　例55：When we arrived at the station, the train had left.

　　例56：At five, they arrived in Beijing.

　　例57：The letter didn’t reach me until yesterday.

　　例58：At what time did you get to the post office?

　　例59：The two sides failed to reach / arrive at an agreement after several hours’ discussion.

　　(几个小时的讨论后，双方还是没能达成一致意见。)
