worry的用法总结大全

受动主体(I)位于这个动词之前，而施事者(you)则位于这个动词的后面(有时候我们根本就不会提及)。

So, which form should you choose for which situation?

那么，你应该在何种情境下选择何种形态呢?

Well I think that the first one - I worry about you

我认为第一个--I worry about you

is a general statement which means that the speaker is generally worried, most of the time, about this person.

是一种常用的说法，含义是讲话人很担心，大多数情况下是对这个人很担心。

But the second statement – I am worried – seems to have an element of 'now' about it

而第二种说法--I am worried --则似乎有少许的'now'的成分，

the speaker seems to be talking about a specific feeling (that's worry) that he or she has at the time of speaking

讲话人似乎谈论的是一种特定的、在他/她说话的那一时刻的那种感觉(也就是worry)，

and he or she's mentioned the cause or the reason for the feeling - about you

他/她会提及有这种感觉的缘由或原因--也就是关于你的，

and that reinforces the idea that the worry is specific to this situation.

这种说法加强了针对这种情境的担忧。

So, to show you what I mean, let's extend the sentences with a bit of context.

为了向你表明我说的是什么意思，让我们通过上下文来扩展一下这两个句子。

If I say, I worry about you – I'm your mother

如果我说，我担心你--我是你的母亲，

mothers always worry about their children, it's not a specific situation, it's a general situation, I worry about you because I'm your mum.

母亲通常都会比较担心她们的孩子，因此这不是一个特定情境，而是一个普遍情境。我很担心你，因为我是你的母亲。

But if I say, I'm worried about you, you're looking very thin, that's a specific situation.

但是如果我说，我很担心你，你看起来非常瘦。这就是一个特定情境了。

Maybe you're usually not underweight at all but in this situation I think you look thin and I am worried about you.

可能平常你的体重一点儿也不轻，但是在这一时刻，我觉得你看起来很瘦，因此我很担心。

So, let's sum up Mohammad. Both of your sentences are correct, and they mean pretty much the same thing.

好了，默罕默德，让我们总结一下。你的这两个句子都是正确的，它们的含义基本上是一样的。

But if you want to talk about a general, long-lasting worry, say I worry about you,

但是如果你想要谈论一种普遍的、长久以来的担忧，那就用I worry about you，

and if you want to talk about a specific worry related to a specific event that's happening now (or happened recently), you can say I'm worried about you.

而如果你想要谈论一种特定、与现在发生的(或者最近发生的)一个特定事件相关的的担忧，那么你就用I'm worried about you。

OK then Mohammad, thanks very much for your question and I do hope you're not too worried about your English!

好了，默罕默德，非常感谢你的问题，我真的希望你不用对你的英语太过担心!
