在這句子里 become 有 “成為”,“變成”,“導致” 的意思
is 的意思是 “是”,因此不能替換.
但如果改為 be ：
it can be a huge drain on one's time and energy.
一般人會理解為意思一樣.
One negative repercussion of dishonesty is that it can become a huge drain on one’s time and energy.
意譯：
不誠實的（一個）負面影響是它可以導致大量時間和精力上的耗費.
希望幫到了你!
我是加拿大人,前英語老師.謝謝你，我還有一個類似的問題：Those who get caught in weaving a web of lies will soonfind that they have little time or energy foranything else.這里為什么用get，get caught in,是什么意思，求老師解答，謝謝這里的的 get 是 口語式的用法get caught相等于be caught或become caught比如I got caught in the rain和I was caught in the rain一樣。 Those who get caught in weaving a web of lies=Those who are caught in weaving a web of liesThose who become caught in weaving a web of lies
