大学英语相似词辨析(42):concerned,concerning

大学英语相似词辨析(42):concerned,concerning

concerned,concerning 这两个词的词义并不相同,⽤法亦有异。

Concerned是分词形容词,其意为“有关的”(involved);concerning是由分词转换⽽成的介词,其意为“关于”(relating to)。

请看下⾯的例句:考试⼤ This agreement will be signed by the parties concemed. 此协议将由各有关⽅⾯签署。

They called on all departments concemed to take prompt steps to promote the development of light industry. 他们要求各有关部门迅速采取措施,促进轻⼯业发展。

由例句可见,concerned⽤作形容词解作“有关的”时,是后置定语,⼤都放在它所修饰的名词之后。

但在verb“to be”之后⽽同样解作“关于”时,则要⽤be concerned with的形式,如: This book is concerned with English usage. 此书是与英语惯⽤法有关。

值得注意的是,concerned(亦可表⽰动词之意)也可解作“关⼼”、“担⼼”解,与之搭配的介词为at、about或,⽤作此意时,concerned也是形容词。

例: He was deeply concerned at the news. 听到这个消息时,他深为担忧。

We are all concerned about the pollution of the environment here. 对这⾥的环境爱到污染,我们都感到不安。

Parents are naturally conerned for their children’s safety. ⽗母⾃然关⼼他们⼉⼥的安全。

下⾯是concerning的例句: This is a proposal concerning the construction of the new airport. 这是关于兴建新机场的⼀项建议。
