说法话茬第458期:我知道他弱不经风,所以就不怕他
各位新老学员，欢迎来到《可可说法话茬》教室。
今日课题：今天，我们的目标是要用英文来正确表达下面这个意思：我知道他弱不经风，所以就不怕他。在众多说法中，有一个说法是这样的：I knew he was feeble and was not frightened for him.
课题详解：这个说的对与错，咱们暂且不论。请先跟我来熟悉一个词语的意思和用法。这个词语是句中的关键词语：frightened。它是形容词，意思是“feeling fear”，是指“受惊的，感到害怕的”。在上回的学习中，我们说到了用它表示“害怕某事或者是害怕做某事”，要使用“be frightened of something/doing something”这个结构。那么，要用frightened表示“害怕某人”，仍然是使用be frightened of 这个固定的搭配模式，即为：be frightened of somebody。请看下面的2个例句：
People were frightened of Ana and for many years, they ran away when Ana was near their villages. 人们许多年来都害怕Ana。当她走进附近的时候，人们就都跑了。
现在我们回看今天的课题句子：I knew he was feeble and was not frightened for him. 这里使用的是be frightened for sb.也有这个用法，至于是何意，我们今后会说到。根据所要表达的语义，“我知道他弱不经风，所以就不怕他。”的正确说法是：I knew that he was feeble and was not frightened of him.
我们今天的学习就到此结束。I am Juliet. See you next time.
本期习题：他对外科兽医一直心有余悸。
