be afraid (of)
[词义]害怕;恐怕;担心
[例句] She is afraid of dogs. 她害怕狗。
Don't worry, There is nothing to be afraid of. 别担心,没有什么可怕的。
I was very late that morning on my way to school and was afraid of being scolded. 那天早晨上学,我去得很晚,心里害怕挨骂。
[辨析] be afraid of, be afraid to do与 be afraid that
afraid是形容词,意思是“怕”,常用作表语,但由于后面所接的词或结构不同,其意义也有所不同。
1.by afraid of后接名词或代词,意思是“害怕某人或某物”;后接动名词,意思是“害怕或担心发生某种情况”。例如:
The little girl is much afraid of the dog. 那个小女孩很怕这只狗。
Jenny is afraid of her father, for he is very strict with her. 詹妮害怕她父亲,因为他对她非常严厉。
She was afraid of waking her husband. 她怕弄醒她的丈夫。
I don't like to speak French because I'm afraid of making mistakes. 我不喜欢讲法语,因为我怕讲错。
2.be afraid to后接动词原形,意思是主语不敢做某事。例如:
I am afraid to go out at night. 我不敢晚上出去。
The husband was afraid to wake his wife up. 丈夫不敢把妻子唤醒。
3.be afraid后可接hat从句,但这时已失去“害怕”的原义,Im afraid已经演变成一种套语,意思是“恐怕”、“担心”。例如:
Im afraid that he won't come. 恐怕他不会来了。
I'm not good at maths. And I'm afraid that physics is going to be difficult for me, too. 我的数学学得不好,恐怕物理对我来说也会难学。
[总结]下列结构的含义和用法: be afraid of sb be afraid of sth be afraid of doing sth be afraid to do sth be afraid(that)+从句
[注意]I am afraid.是客气话,表示“对不起”,相当于 I am sorry,but......
