六、词汇搭配

用作形容词 (adj.)
动词+～副词+～～+介词

七、词语用法

adj.(形容词)
  1. 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。
  2. 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。
  3. 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。
  4. 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(I'm 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。
  5. 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。
  6. afraid不可用very修饰,但可用much或very much修饰。
  7. afraid的比较级和最高级是more afraid和most afraid。
  1. much afraid, very much afraid和very afraid都指“很害怕”，但因afraid是表语形容词，very afraid的表达方式不妥当。使用最普遍的是very much afraid，等同于afraid的定语形容词是frightened；
  2. afraid后可加不定式，of和动名词，that或lest引导的从句：加不定式时，指“怕……”，如afraid to die指“怕死”，afraid to see him指“怕见他”。加of和动名词时，除了指“怕。。。”，还常指“恐怕将。。。”，如afraid of dying指“恐怕将死”或“怕死”，afraid of seeing him指“（不想见而）恐怕难免要见到他”或“怕见他”。that从句中，常省略开首的that。

    I am afraid (that) we shall be late.

  3. I am afraid有时指“I am sorry”。

    I am afraid I cannot tell you.
    注意I am afraid不能单独代替I am sorry.

  4. 不可用在名词名词前，如可以说John is afraid，或John is a frightened man，不可说John is an afraid man；
  5. 在非正式表达方式下，be afraid要比fear使用得更普遍，如Don’t be afraid，而不是Don’t fear。
