这区别我知道些。纠正下题主“ be afraid doing”应该为“ be afraid of doing”。给大家总结了一个表格可以先粗略看一下:
【词组含义】
be afraid to do & be afraid of doing都可以表示“害怕”、“不敢”,前者着重“因害怕而不敢做某事”,后者表示“担心某事可能发生”
be afraid to do sth.真正的意思是“因害怕而不敢做某事”,也就是主语对做某事内心感到恐惧;
be afraid of doing sth.表示主语“担心某事可能发生”,也可以说是不希望发生某事,但自己不一定能避免它。
例如:
He was afraid to go out alone at night.
他害怕晚上独自外出。
(暗含的意思是“他对于晚上独自外出缺乏安全感”。)
He came late to school and was afraid of being scolded by the teacher.
他上学迟到了,害怕被老师吵。
(暗含的意思是“他不情愿被老师吵”。)
用“不敢.......”来辨别这两个短语很能说明问题。
He is afraid of being beaten by his father.
他怕被他爸打。
(不是他敢不敢的问题,他是不情愿。)
He is afraid to touch the snake.他不敢碰那条蛇。
(他内心里恐惧蛇。)
I'm afraid to dive into the swimming pool.
我不敢在游泳池里跳水。
I'm afraid of falling into the swimming pool.
我担心会掉进游泳池里去。
