▼afraid的用法总结
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(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。
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。
偶可见afraid作定语者:①带修饰语时(前置),例如:Those somewhat afraid children dare not sing.那些有点胆怯的孩子们不敢唱歌。②偶可(如出于修辞需要)后置,例如:A man afraid is a man ashamed.又如:He looks like a man afraid.他看起来像是害怕。
一般认为be afraid 后接的that从句(注意此时省略of)作afraid的宾语,因为be afraid具有及物的倾向。但也有人认为that从句是状语从句,还有人认为是表语的补足语。
