用法筆記

Always appears in the form 'get lit up' or 'be lit up' — it cannot take a direct object. You cannot say 'He lit her up' to mean he made her drunk.

常見錯誤

❌My brother lit me up at the wedding.
✅My brother got lit up at the wedding.
💡'Lit up' meaning drunk cannot take an object; use the 'get' or 'be' construction instead.
