be afraid 的用法（三個重要句型）

1. be afraid of sth（sb）afraid 害怕某事（某人）。如∶

Are you afraid of dogs?你害狗嗎?

There's nothing to be afraid of. 沒什麼可害怕的。

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∶

I was afraid of hurting her feelings.我怕傷害她的感情。

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∶

He was afraid of losing face.

=He was afraid（that）he'dlose face.他怕失面子。

（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處∶表示擔心會發生某事或某情況，只能用 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∶

Dont 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.
