anxieties
基本解釋
- n.焦慮;擔(dān)心;渴望
詞源解說(shuō)
- 1520左右進(jìn)入英語(yǔ),直接源自拉丁語(yǔ)的anxietatem,意爲(wèi)擔(dān)心。
用法辨析
- anxiety的基本意思是“焦慮,著急(的情緒)”,指因懸而未決或吉兇難蔔的事而引起的焦慮與緊張不安,也可指因即將到來(lái)的災(zāi)難或不幸而産生的恐懼與憂慮。anxiety作“令人著急、焦慮的事”解,是可數(shù)名詞,引申可表示爲(wèi)某事焦慮,常譯成“渴望,熱望”,是不可數(shù)名詞。
- anxiety後可接由that引導(dǎo)的同位語(yǔ)從句,從句中的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞多用“should+動(dòng)詞原形”, should有時(shí)可省略。
n. (名詞)
