問:我在一本文法書上遇到這樣兩個句子:1. You need not[1] be afraid of being punished.2. He is afraid to do it.但是, 該書並沒有對afraid of doing[2] 與afraid to do 這兩個結構在語意和用法上進行區別。
答:afraid of doing[3] 與afraid to do 這兩個結構在語意上是有區別的。
afraid of doing 是指“擔心、害怕會發生某事”(worried or anxious about sth. which might happen), 例如: He is not afraid of dying. 他不怕死。She seems[4] awfully afraid of losing her job. 她好像特別害怕失去工作。afraid to do 則是指“由於害怕而不願去做某事”(unwilling to do sth. because you are frightened) 。be afraid to do sth. = fear to do sth. (害怕做某事), 例如: Don’t be afraid to ask questions. 不要不敢提問題。She was afraid to leave her room. 她不敢離開自己的房間。She was afraid to see you again[5]. 她不敢再見你了。He was afraid to take even[6] a drink of water. 他甚至連水也不敢喝。[附注] 當be afraid of 後接的動名詞表示意志所致的行為時, 它也可能表示“(因擔心其後果) 而不敢去做某事”:
I’m afraid of telling / to tell her the[7] truth.我不敢告訴她實情。
另見:afraid 在這裡作“害怕”解嗎?[8] 和 形容詞[9]afraid 與形容詞[10]frightened 有何區別?
