上周有个客人问我,说想找个英语表达担心的短语,那我可就给她列举了好几个。像这样的:
1. Worry about: "I'm worried about the project's deadline." (我担心项目的截止日期。)
2. Be concerned about: "We are concerned about the rising crime rate in the neighborhood." (我们担心社区里犯罪率的上升。)
3. Have fears about: "I have fears about the safety of my children." (我担心孩子们的安全。)
4. Be apprehensive about: "She was apprehensive about giving a public speech." (她担心做公开演讲。)
5. Be preoccupied with: "He's been preoccupied with work lately." (最近他一直忙于工作,心事重重。)
6. Be troubled by: "I'm troubled by the thought of losing my job." (一想到可能失业,我就很烦恼。)
7. Feel uneasy about: "I feel uneasy about the new policy." (我对这项新政策感到不安。)
这些短语在日常英语交流中都很常见,用起来也很方便。反正你看着办,选哪个短语看你表达的具体情境。我还在想这个问题,以后再碰到类似的问题,也许还能想到更多。
