afraid
of
sth.
害怕某事
固定搭配
根据主语把be动词换掉
be
afraid
to
do
sth.真正的意思是“害怕做某事”,也就是主语对做某事内心感到恐惧；be
afraid
of
doing
sth.表示主语内心里不情愿做某事,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.）
此外还有be
worried
about等词组。
