词语辨析concerned和concerning
Concerned是分词形容词,其意为有关的(involved);concerning是由分词转换而成的介词,其意为关于(relating to)。请看下面的例句:
This agreement will be signed by the parties concemed.
此协议将由各有关方面签署。
They called on all departments concemed to take prompt steps to promote the development of light industry.
他们要求各有关部门迅速采取措施,促进轻工业发展。
由例句可见,concerned用作形容词解作有关的时,是后置定语,大都放在它所修饰的.名词之后。但在verbto be之后而同样解作关于时,则要用be concerned with的形式,如:
This book is concerned with English usage.
此书是与英语惯用法有关。
值得注意的是,concerned(亦可表示动词之意)也可解作关心、担心解,与之搭配的介词为at、about或,用作此意时,concerned也是形容词。例:
He was deeply concerned at the news.
听到这个消息时,他深为担忧。
We are all concerned about the pollution of the environment here.
对这里的环境爱到污染,我们都感到不安。
