come to 这个短语不可以用被动态 。除了上面介绍的用法之外,下面列的一些说法也很常见!
如果要告诉别人自己“对利比里亚的历史一无所知”,就可以说:when it comes to the history of Liberia, I know nothing(一提到利比里亚的历史,我是一无所知) 。
当你觉得情况每况愈下,不知道会糟到什么田地,英文中可以用 come 来形容,那就是 whatis it all coming to 或是 what is the world coming to 。
再举一个例子帮助读者了解:“他起先对他太太大吼大叫,现在是动粗打她 , 情况不知道会糟到什么地步”英文的表达方式是:
First he yelled at his wife, and then hebeat her. That was what it all came to.

come to mind 这个短语不可以有被动态,一定是“想法,意见”或“形式主语”放在句首 。
come to mind 是由十三世纪的 come in mind 演变而来,这个短语常常用在一种情况:你本来记得某件事 , 但是一时之间忘了,突然间又想了起来,这时候就可以说 (something) comes to mind,意思就是 I think up (something),或是 I remember (something) 。
另一个和 come tomind 意思相同的类似用法是occur 。例如上面二句例句都可以用occur,换句话说,意思仍旧一样:
● Aninteresting thought just occurred to me!
● It occurredto me that I had forgotten to bring any money.
除了 come tomind 之外,come to 后面加上别的词 , 则会构成其他很常见的短语:
● come to theconclusion 得出结论
We came tothe conclusion that Sean was telling alie.
 我们得到的结论是肖恩在说谎 。
● come to(one's) attention 注意到
It has cometo my attention that some students have been cheating in tests.
 我注意到有些学生在考试中作弊 。
LESSON 167 cometo the point 讲重点;说到要点NO01 I don't want to hear the details; come to thepoint.
我不要听细节,讲重点就好 。
NO02 The salesman talked for thirty minutes beforecoming to the point.
推销员在讲出重点前,滔滔不绝地讲了三十分钟 。
英语广角镜
come to 有“谈到、涉及”的意思,所以 come to the point 字面的意思就是“谈到这一点、到达某一点”,也就是“说到重点” 。例如:
● I'll come tothis point later.
 我稍后会谈到这一点 。
美国国会民主党参议员伯德在批评白宫对朝鲜政策时,他说到:it has come to the point that, whether by accident or design, thesituation in DPRK could rapidly disintegrate...(现在已经到了紧要关头,朝鲜的局势可能有意无意地迅速恶化……
