大學(xué)英語相似詞辨析(42):concerned,concerning

字號:

concerned,concerning  
    這兩個詞的詞義并不相同,用法亦有異。
    Concerned是分詞形容詞,其意為“有關(guān)的”(involved);concerning是由分詞轉(zhuǎn)換而成的介詞,其意為“關(guān)于”(relating to)。請看下面的例句:考試大
    This agreement will be signed by the parties concemed.
    此協(xié)議將由各有關(guān)方面簽署。
    They called on all departments concemed to take prompt steps to promote the development of light industry.
    他們要求各有關(guān)部門迅速采取措施,促進輕工業(yè)發(fā)展。
    由例句可見,concerned用作形容詞解作“有關(guān)的”時,是后置定語,大都放在它所修飾的名詞之后。但在verb“to be”之后而同樣解作“關(guān)于”時,則要用be concerned with的形式,如:
    This book is concerned with English usage.
    此書是與英語慣用法有關(guān)。
    值得注意的是,concerned(亦可表示動詞之意)也可解作“關(guān)心”、“擔(dān)心”解,與之搭配的介詞為at、about或,用作此意時,concerned也是形容詞。例:
    He was deeply concerned at the news.
    聽到這個消息時,他深為擔(dān)憂。
    We are all concerned about the pollution of the environment here.
    對這里的環(huán)境愛到污染,我們都感到不安。
    Parents are naturally conerned for their children’s safety.
    父母自然關(guān)心他們兒女的安全。
    下面是concerning的例句:
    This is a proposal concerning the construction of the new airport.
    這是關(guān)于興建新機場的一項建議。
    Yesterday we wrote him a letter concerning the business arrangement.
    昨天我們就業(yè)務(wù)安排問題寫了一封信給他。
    在個別場合下,concerned with可以和concerning互換使用,原因是從句which are concerned with中的which are 省略了。例如:
    We had several disputes concerning/(which are)concerned with this matter.
    關(guān)于此事,我們曾爭論過數(shù)次。
    請注意,下列語句的區(qū)別:
    They were concerned(worried)about the matter.
    他們?yōu)榇耸露鴵?dān)憂。
    They were concerned(implicated)in the matter.
    他們參與此事。
    They were concemed (connected)with the matter.
    他們與此事有關(guān)。
    此外,作為特定詞組,as far as I am concerned解作in my opinion;as far as sth is concerned解作concerning sth/ talking about sth。例:
    As far as I’m concerned,this plan is impractical.
    依我來看,這個計劃不切實際。
    As far as funding is concerned,some banks have agreed to provide loans.
    關(guān)于資金方面,一些銀行同意提供貸款。
