선생님과 함께 지문을 읽어보세요.
A. Afraid to (do) and afraid of (do)ingI am afraid to do something = I don't want to do it because it is dangerous or
the result could be bad. We use afraid to do for things we do intentionally:
* A lot of people are afraid to go out at night. (= they don't want to go out because
it is dangerous--so they don't go out)
* He was afraid to tell his parents about the broken window. (= he didn't want to
tell them because he knew they would be angry)I am afraid of something happening = it is possible that something bad will happen
(for example, an accident). We do not use afraid of ~ing for things we do
intentionally:* The path was icy, so we walked very carefully. We were afraid of falling. (= it was
possible that we would fall--not 'we were afraid to fall')
* I don't like dogs. I'm always afraid of being bitten. (not 'afraid to be bitten')So, you are afraid to do something because you are afraid of something happening
as a result:
* I was afraid to go near the dog because I was afraid of being bitten.B. Interested in (do)ing and interested to (do)I'm interested in doing something = I'm thinking of doing it, I'd like to do it:
* I'm trying to sell my car but nobody is interested in buying it. (not 'to buy')We use interested to especially with hear/see/know/read/learn. I was interested
to hear it = 'I heard it and it was interesting for me':
* I was interested to hear that Diane has got a new job.
* Ask George for his opinion. I would be interested to know what he thinks.
(=it would be interesting for me to know)This structure is the same as surprised to/delighted to... etc. :
* I was surprised to hear that Diane has got a new job.C. Sorry to (do) and sorry for (do)ingWe usually say sorry to... to apologize when (or just before) we do something:
* I'm sorry to bother you, but I need to talk to you.
We use sorry to (hear/read etc.) to show sympathy with somebody :
* I was sorry to hear that Fiona lost her job. (= I was sorry when I heard ...)
You can use sorry for (doing something) to apologize for something you did before:
* (I'm) sorry for shouting at you yesterday. (not 'Sorry to shout ...')You can also say:
* (I'm) sorry I shouted at you yesterday.D. Note that we say:
I want to (do)/I'd like to (do) but I'm thinking of (do)ing/I dream of (do)ing
I failed to (do) but I succeeded in (do)ing
I allowed them to (do) but I prevented them from (do)ing
