近义短语的用法与区别

7. be afraid of & be frightened of害怕

异同之处：be afraid of和be frightened of用法一致，of是介词，后面跟让人恐惧或者害怕的人或者事物。同义短语还有be scared of, have a dread of。

例1：Kids should learn not to be afraid of monsters. (2010年12月四级)

孩子们应该学会不害怕怪物。

结构分析：Kids是主语，should learn是谓语，not to be afraid of monsters是宾语。

例2：The shy boy is frightened of giving a speech in public.

我想你应该那位害羞的男孩很怕公开演讲。

结构分析：The shy boy是主语， is frightened of 是谓语，givinga speech in public是-ing式词组作宾语，其中in public是后置定语。

8. be famous for & be well-known for因……而出名

异同之处：be famous for和be well-known for都可以表示因为某个特点、特长等闻名，注意与be famous as的区别，be famous as表示“作为……而出名”。

例1：The professor is famous for a scientific breakthrough in technology.

那位教授因在技术上有科学性突破而出名。

例2：We all know that France is well-known for Eiffel Tower.

众所周知，法国以埃菲尔铁塔而著名。
