1. frighten的基本意思是“使恐惧”“使害怕”。可指对一刺激的短暂反应,也可指充满害怕或恐惧的任何一种心理状态。在程度上则多指使人瘫作一团的“恐惧”。
2. frighten一般用作及物动词,通常接人或动物作宾语。偶尔也可用作不及物动词,这时主动形式常含被动意义。
3. frighten常用于be ～ed结构:其后接at, by, of或with表示被某一突然出现的人或物所惊吓; 接of还可表示习惯性地害怕某人或某物; 接介词to表示惊吓的程度。

frighten from, frighten into

这两个短语中介词不同,意思则完全相反:前者的意思是“吓得(某人)不敢做(某事)”,后者的意思是“恐吓(某人)做(某事)”。试比较:

The thunder frightened the child from crying.

雷声把那孩子吓得不敢哭了。

The thunder frightened the child into crying.

雷声把那孩子吓哭了。

frighten, fear

这两个词都可表示“害怕”。其区别是：

fear表示一种相对长期的心理状态对某人或某事害怕,多指害怕已存在或即将到来的危险,并含有避开之义; frighten含义广泛,多指某物或某人使他人突然产生短暂的惊慌、恐惧的心理变化。例如:

She fears snakes.

她怕蛇。

The snake frightened her.

那条蛇吓她一跳。

frighten, astound

这两个词的共同意思是“使吃惊”。它们的区别是:

1.frighten常指突然受到惊吓或较强的意外刺激而吃惊,常伴有发抖、发呆、尖叫等身体反应,有惧怕的意味; astound指对某事难以相信而“吃惊”。例如:

He was astounded when he heard he had won.他听到他获胜时,大吃一惊。

2.frighten的对象可以是人或动物; astound的对象只能是人。

下面两个句子意思不同:

Were you frightened of the accident?

你对这起事故感到惊恐吗?

Were you frightened by the accident?

这起事故使你惊恐吗?

alarm，frighten，startle，terrify，scare，intimidate

这些动词均有“惊吓、惊恐”之意。

alarm着重指某人意识到危险而突然产生的惊恐。

frighten普通用词，使用广泛，指产生突然、短暂的惊慌、恐怖感。

startle强调突然使人惊骇或震惊。

terrify语气最强，指惊骇得六神无主，魂飞魄散。

scare指非正式文体中可与frighten换用，但语气较重，侧重人受惊吓后立即停下正在干的事或跑掉。

intimidate特指恐吓某人，迫使其做某事。

他们威胁那位老太太,让她在纸上签了字。

误 They frightened the old lady to sign the paper.

正 They frightened the old lady into signing the paper.

析 说“恐吓(某人)做某事”时, frighten的宾语后不可接动词不定式,而应该接“into v -ing”短语来表示。

• ☆ 1660年进入英语，直接源自古英语的fyrhto，意为惊吓，恐怖。
