Question

16．她不害怕在公众场合说英语．
She is afraid to speak in public．

Answer 1

分析 She is afraid to speak English in public．

解答 答案：She is afraid to speak in public．表达的是客观事实用一般现在时，表示害怕做某事用be afraid to do sth，主语she，故is，speak English说英语，in public公共场合
，故答案是She is afraid to speak English in public．

点评 1．be afraid to do 主要指按照经验或常识不敢去做某事或没有勇气去做某事．如：
The little boy was afraid to go out at night．这个小男孩晚上不敢出去．
注：在现代英语中，也可以用be afraid of doing 结构来表示上述意思．如：
He was afraid to tell[of telling]his wife．他不敢告诉他妻子．
2．be afraid of doing 主要表示担心会发生某事（是一种无意行为），此时不能用be afraid to do 结构．如：
I was afraid of hurting his feelings．我怕伤了他的感情．
