正确表达The new students were habituated to studying in the library every evening.
habituated to 中的 to 是介词,不是不定式符号,因此后面必须接名词或动名词(doing),不能接动词原形;汉语“习惯做某事”容易诱导学习者直接接 do。

易错句子He habituated to the cold climate after a year in the north.
正确表达He habituated himself to the cold climate after a year in the north.
habituate 是及物动词,意为“使……习惯”,必须带宾语;汉语“习惯了”是不及物说法,直译会漏掉宾语,应使用 habituate oneself to 或改为被动式 be habituated to。
与 habituate 意思最接近,但 accustom 更通用、更日常,多用于 accustom sb/oneself to sth 这种结构;habituate 更书面,偏学术或医学语域,常见 be habituated to sth 或 habituate sb to sth。日常表达“习惯某事”时,accustom 更自然。
inure 几乎只用于 inure sb to hardship/pain 这类艰难、不适的处境,语气正式且书面;habituate 是中性的,因反复接触而习惯任何事物都可用,不限于受苦。
familiarize 强调获得知识、了解情况,常用 familiarize sb/oneself with sth;habituate 强调因反复接触而在行为或生理上“习惯”,并不涉及掌握信息或知识。
