词语用法

v. (动词)

1. dread的基本意思是“惧怕,担心”,指巨大地、长期地、持续地恐惧,也指面临危险时失去勇气而胆怯。在句中主要用作及物动词,其后可接名词、代词或动名词作宾语,也可接动词不定式或that引导的从句。

词义辨析

v. (动词)

dread doing sth, dread to do sth

• dread后可接动名词,也可接动词不定式。其区别是：
• 接动词不定式时,指不敢“主动地”去做某事; 接动名词时则指对某动作所产生的后果“被动地”害怕。试比较以下两句:
• I dread to come close to the dog. 我不敢靠近这条狗。
• I dread seeing the dog. 我害怕看见那条狗。

alarm，fear，fright，horror，panic，terror，dread

• 这些名词均含“恐惧、惧怕、惊恐”之意。
• alarm强调突然意识到有危险而产生的恐惧心理。
• fear普通用词，侧重指面临危险或灾祸时内心所引起的恐惧心情。
• fright通常指一阵突然的、令人震惊的短暂恐惧，有时含夸张意味。
