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。

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?

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。
