高考英語詞滙:afraid的用法(句型搭配)
1. be afraid of sth (sb) 害怕某事(某人)。如:

比較:

2. be afraid of doing sth
(1) 擔心會發生某事或某情況(但實際上未必會發生)。如:

注:be afraid of doing sth 表示擔心會發生某事或某情況時,其後也可用 be afraid that 替換。如:

(2) 害怕做某事或不敢做某事(指缺乏勇氣或害怕其後果而不敢)。如:

注:以上兩類句型的異同之処:表示擔心會發生某事或某情況,衹能用 be afraid of doing sth, 而表示害怕做某事或不敢做某事等,則兩者都可用。如:
Don’t be afraid to ask [of asking] question. 不要害怕問問題。
He is afraid to go out [of going out] alone at night. 他不敢晚上一個人出去。
