concern
高中高一上/kənˈsɝːn/
n.關切
worry or interest
什麼時候用
concern 當動詞是「與…有關」或「使擔憂」,當名詞是「關切、擔憂」。最常用的形式是被動:be concerned about(擔心)與 be concerned with(與…有關),兩個介系詞意思不同。
常見錯誤
- be concerned about = 擔心;be concerned with = 涉及、關於。用錯介系詞意思會整個變。
- as far as... is concerned 是固定句型,意思是「就…而言」。
- concerning 當介系詞是「關於」,很正式,不是進行式。
常見搭配
- be concerned about
- be concerned with
- a matter of concern
例句
Your concerns are valid.
