be afraid of 和be afraid to 有什么区别(除了前者跟动名词,后者跟原形外)
be afraid of 和be afraid to 有什么区别(除了前者跟动名词,后者跟原形外)
1.be afraid of doing sth意思是“害怕某事会发生”,重点在“怕”;
be afraid to do sth意思是“(因为害怕而)不敢做某事”,重点在“不敢”.
2.如:The little boy is afraid to return home because he is afraid being beaten by his father.这个小男孩因为害怕会被他老爸打,所以不敢回家.
如果写成:The little boy is afraid of returning home because he is afraid to be beaten by his father.就很搞笑了:这个小男孩因为不敢被他老爸打,所以害怕会回家.
3.另外,还有be afraid of sb/sth的用法“害怕某人/物”,但是后者只有be afraid to do sth“不敢做某事”.
