第 97 课 · 第 8 阶段: 形容词、副词与介词
形容词 + 介词
中级Adjective + preposition
构成与用法
good at, interested in, afraid of, worried about — 与固定介词搭配的形容词
1.句型
很多形容词后面接内容时,要搭配固定的介词:形容词 + 介词 + 名词 / 代词 / -ing。介词通常没法猜,所以要整块记:记 afraid of,而不是只记 afraid。
| 介词后面接 | 例句 |
|---|---|
| 名词 | My brother is interested in history. |
| 代词 | We're really proud of you. |
| -ing 形式 | Lan is good at cooking. |
| 疑问句:介词放句末 | What are you worried about? |
介词后面的动词一定用 -ing 形式:interested in learning,good at drawing,tired of waiting(不说 in learn / at draw)。见“介词 + -ing”一课。

3.同一个形容词,不同的介词
有些形容词后面跟的是人还是事物,介词就不同——或者意思会变。
| 结构 | 意思 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| kind / nice / good / silly of sb (to do) | 评价某人做的事 | It was kind of you to help me. |
| kind / nice / polite / rude to sb | 对待某人的态度 | She's always kind to her students. |
| angry / annoyed / upset with sb | 生某人的气 | My parents are angry with me. |
| angry / annoyed / upset about sth | 因为某种情况而生气 | He's angry about the delay. |
| sorry about / for sth | 为某事道歉或感到遗憾 | Sorry about the mess. / Sorry for the delay. |
| feel sorry for sb | 同情某人 | I feel sorry for him. |
| good at / good for / good with | 擅长 · 对…有好处 · 善于应付(人、数字…) | good at maths · good for your health · good with children |

4.英美差异和非正式的说法
- different from 在哪里都可以用;英国人也说 different to,美国人常说 different than。
- angry with someone 是标准的英式用法;angry at someone 在美式英语中很常见。
- surprised / shocked / amazed at 或 by 都对。
- bored with 是标准形式;bored of 在日常口语中很常见。
- married to 和 be / get 连用:She got married to a man from Hue. 但动词 marry 后面不加介词:She married him.
不要按中文直译介词——英语里常常不一样:中文说“和他结婚”,英语是 married to(不是 with);“擅长” → good at,“和…相似” → similar to,“害怕” → afraid of。把每个形容词和它的介词当作一个整体来记。
5.常见错误
I'm not interested about football.I'm not interested in football.
interested 总是搭配 in。
She is married with an engineer from Hue.She is married to an engineer from Hue.
be married to + 人。
My parents are angry on me.My parents are angry with me.
生某人的气用 angry with(美式:angry at)。
Your phone is similar with mine.Your phone is similar to mine.
similar to。
He's good in playing the guitar.He's good at playing the guitar.
擅长某事:good at + -ing。
I'm interested in learn Chinese.I'm interested in learning Chinese.
介词后面用 -ing。
例句
- Lan is really good at cooking.
- My brother is very interested in history.
- My little sister is afraid of dogs.
- I'm worried about my exam tomorrow.
