▼afraid的用法總結
afraid的基本含義是“害怕”,泛指一種恐懼心理,或者用於表示習慣的、經常的懦弱或怯弱,並帶有因“畏懼”而行動不靈活或談吐不順暢之意。afraid也可表示“擔憂”或“憂慮”某事物可能產生的後果,即“恐怕”。afraid還可以表示“擔心”某人〔事物〕會遇到危險。
afraid是表語形容詞,即一般不用在名詞前面作定語。作“害怕”解時其後可接of (sb/sth/ v -ing)引起的短語,也可接動詞不定式和that(常省略)從句,從句中的謂語動詞常用虛擬式。作“擔心”解時其後可接for引起的短語。
afraid在句中間或可用作賓語補足語。由afraid構成的形容詞短語在句中還可用作狀語。
I am afraid...是口語中常見的一種固定搭配(只用單數第一人稱一般現在時)。可用來表示推測(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)。其作用在於使語氣婉轉和緩。其位置可在句首,也可在句末。
在回答別人問話時afraid後可用so或not替代問句中的肯定式或否定式賓語。
afraid不可用very修飾,但可用much或very much修飾。
afraid的比較級和最高級是more afraid和most afraid。
偶可見afraid作定語者：①帶修飾語時(前置),例如：Those somewhat afraid children dare not sing.那些有點膽怯的孩子們不敢唱歌。②偶可(如出於修辭需要)後置,例如：A man afraid is a man ashamed.又如：He looks like a man afraid.他看起來像是害怕。
一般認爲be afraid 後接的that從句(注意此時省略of)作afraid的賓語,因爲be afraid具有及物的傾向。但也有人認爲that從句是狀語從句,還有人認爲是表語的補足語。
