词语用法
- afraid的基本含义是“害怕”,泛指一种恐惧心理,或者用于表示习惯的、经常的懦弱或怯弱,并带有因“畏惧”而行动不灵活或谈吐不顺畅之意。afraid也可表示“担忧”或“忧虑”某事物可能产生的后果,即“恐怕”。afraid还可以表示“担心”某人〔事物〕会遇到危险。 afraid是表语形容词,即一般不用在名词前面作定语。作“害怕”解时其后可接of (sb/sth/ v -ing)引起的短语,也可接动词不定式和that(常省略)从句,从句中的谓语动词常用虚拟式。作“担心”解时其后可接for引起的短语。 afraid在句中间或可用作宾语补足语。由afraid构成的形容词短语在句中还可用作状语。 I am afraid...是口语中常见的一种固定搭配(只用单数第一人称一般现在时)。可用来表示推测(suppose)、歉意(Excuse me…)、婉拒(Im sorry but…)或者引出不好的消息(sorry to have to say)。其作用在于使语气婉转和缓。其位置可在句首,也可在句末。 在回答别人问话时afraid后可用so或not替代问句中的肯定式或否定式宾语。 afraid不可用very修饰,但可用much或very much修饰。 afraid的比较级和最高级是more afraid和most afraid。
常见错误
- 我怕狗。
误 I afraid of dogs.
正 I am afraid of dogs.
析afraid虽具有动作意义,但切不可把afraid误用作动词。
他非常害怕迟到。误 He was very afraid of being late.
正 He was much afraid of being late.
析afraid表示“很害怕”时,可以加much修饰,但不可加very。不过,在much afraid之前却可以再加very进一步加强语气,特别是在Im afraid 相当于Im sorry 时,更常用very much修饰。例如：
Im very much afraid hes out.非常抱歉,他不在家。我比你更怕他。误 I am afraider of him than you.
正 I am more afraid of him than you.
他的儿子中小的最怕黑。误 The youngest of his sons is afraidest of dark.
正 The youngest of his sons is most afraid of dark.
析afraid不可加-er,-est构成比较级和最高级。
