二、afraid的搭配

1. be [feel, look, seem, sound, become, grow] afraid。例如：

She whispered (to me) that she felt very afraid. 她小聲(對我)說她覺得很害怕。

2. make sb afraid。例如：

What has made you so deeply afraid of your boss?

3. a little(Am.E) [a bit(Am.E), a little bit(Am.E), almost, awfully, deadly(Am.E), deathly(Am.E), deeply, desperately, extremely, genuinely, half, just, mortally, much, physically, rather, really, secretly, slightly, simply, suddenly, terribly, truly, very, very much] afraid。例如：

She was tense, almost afraid to open the letter.  她很緊張，幾乎不敢打開信。

He was half afraid to look at her. 他有點不敢看她。

You do know, don't you? You are just afraid to tell me. 你確實知道，不是嗎？ 你只是不敢告訴我。

■注：有的語法專著認為very不能修飾afraid；只有 much 或very much才可修飾afraid。例如：Michael Swan著Practical English Usage (International Student’s Edition Eighth impression 2002)p28:

We often use very much instead of very before afraid, especially when I’m afraid means ‘I’m sorry to tell you’. 在afraid前面，經常用very much，而不單用very。如果I’m afraid 用來表示I’m sorry to tell you，尤其如此。

但實際上，現在英美語中都能用very 修飾afraid。
