问题: 请问:be afraid of 和 be afraid to 有什么区别。最好说的详细点。Thank you,my good friends!

解答:

be afraid of 和be afraid to的区别其实非常好记,告诉你:

be afraid of doing/sth. 意为害怕,恐怕,担心

be afraid to do sth. 意为不敢做……事

给你句句子,你马上就能搞清:
he is afraid of being beaten by his father.他怕被他爸抽

这里明显用be afraid of,如用be afraid to的话,解释为“他不敢被他爸抽”,这太可笑了

he is afraid to touch the snake.他不敢碰那条蛇


clear?
