用法辨析
- curious的意思有二:一是“好奇的”,用于褒義時(shí)可指“好求知的”,用于貶義時(shí)可指“愛打聽的,愛管閑事的”,在句中可作主語或表語; 二是“奇妙的,稀奇的”,在句中主要用作主語,也可用于形式主語結(jié)構(gòu)。
- curious可接that或wh-從句,其中that從句后的謂語動(dòng)詞必須用其虛擬式; curious作定語時(shí),多半用作貶義。
- curious一般不用very修飾,不用于比較級(jí)和最高級(jí)。
- curious to know和curious to hear都可以解釋為“很想知道……”的意思。I am curious to know where he stays. 我很想知道她呆在哪。
- curious to relate和curious to say可單獨(dú)使用，意為“說來真奇怪”。Curious to relate/say,the boy was not drowned. 說來也奇怪，這個(gè)男孩沒有溺死。
- curious后面可接how，what或者that引導(dǎo)的從句。We felt curious how they would receive our advise. 注意that從句中需用should。
adj. (形容詞)
