foolish除了表示动作愚蠢、荒谬外,是否可以直接表示人愚蠢?这两句话是否有误?
He is foolish.
It's foolish to do like this.
请问这句话中的红色部分是什么成分?
I just stood there feeling foolish and watching him. 我只是傻傻地站在那里看着他。
谢谢专家老师!
童老师:
1. foolish 既可以指行为、话语等“愚蠢的,傻的”,也可以指人“愚笨的,傻瓜似的”。如:
To accept their offer would be foolish. 接受他们的帮助是愚蠢的。
We must put an end to this foolish behavior. 我们必须终止这种愚蠢的行为。
He is a foolish young man. 他是个愚笨的小伙子。
You were foolish to believe what he said. 你相信他的话太傻了。
你的以下两句都是对的:
He is foolish.
It's foolish to do like this.
2. 下面句子中的现在分词短语 feeling foolish and watching him 为伴随状语,即伴随谓语动词 stood 同时发生:
I just stood there feeling foolish and watching him. 我只是傻傻地站在那里看着他。
3. It's foolish of sb. to do sth. 句式习惯上用 of,不用 for。又如:
It was foolish of me to forget. 我真蠢,竟然忘记了。
It’s foolish of you to believe her. 你相信她真是太蠢了。
比较同义句:
It was foolish of her to say such a thing.
= She was foolish to say such a thing.
她说出那样的话来,真是太蠢了。
黎老师:
1. foolish除了表示动作愚蠢、荒谬外,是否可以直接表示人愚蠢?
【答】可以。这两句话是正确的:
He is foolish.
It's foolish to do like this.
2. 下面这句话中的红色部分是伴随状语。
I just stood there feeling foolish and watching him. 我只是傻傻地站在那里看着他。
3 . 请问It's foolish of/for sb. to do sth.中应该用of不能用for。例如:
It was foolish of you to leave school . = You were foolish to leave school. 你退学是很不明智的。 (摘自2008年7月第1版《外研社英汉多功能词典》)
