英英釋義：to be attracted to something and therefore move towards it or become involved with it?

“gravitate”是不及物動(dòng)詞，意思是“移向某人/某物””被吸引到”，后面一般搭配 to 或 towards。gravitate 是 gravity（吸引力）的衍生詞.

當(dāng)我們想表達(dá)一個(gè)人的意愿和選擇時(shí)，就可以用 gravitate 替換 be attracted to, be interested in 等常見(jiàn)表達(dá)。這個(gè)詞比較正式，但在書(shū)面和口語(yǔ)中出現(xiàn)的頻率比較高。

注意：gravitate to/towards 本身就表示“被吸引到”，直接說(shuō) A gravitates to/towards B 就可以，不要再畫(huà)蛇添足用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)表示“被”。
