1、表示“害怕做某事”或“不敢做某事”,be
afraid
之后可接不定式,也可接

sth.如：

afraid
to

但若要表示担心可能会发生某事,则只能用

2、be

doing
是客观上造成的，意为“生怕，恐怕”。例如：

害怕做某事(表示一个经常性的行为)
be
afraid
to
do
sth.害怕做某事(表示对即将去做的事感到害怕)
但这两个短语,有时可以互相换用.如:

afraid
of
dogs.

豆豆staR-
be
afraid
to
do
sth.真正的意思是“害怕做某事”,也就是主语对做某事内心感到恐惧；
be
afraid
of
doing
sth.表示主语内心里不情愿做某事,也可以说是不希望发生某事,但自己不一定能避免它.例如：
He
was
afraid
to
go
out
alone
at
night.(他害怕晚上独自外出.暗含的意思是“他对于晚上独自外出缺乏安全感”.)
He
came
late
to
school
and
was
afraid
of
being
scolded
by
the
teacher.(他上学迟到了,害怕被老师吵.暗含的意思是“他不情愿被老师吵”.)
用“不敢.”来辨别这两个短语很能说明问题.
He
is
afraid
of
being
beaten
by
his
father.他怕被他爸打.（不是他敢不敢的问题,他是不情愿.）
He
is
afraid
to
touch
the
snake.他不敢碰那条蛇.（他内心里恐惧蛇.）
阿啵呲嘚-
be
afraid
of
:由于是介词of结尾所以后面应该接名词或动名词
比如I
am
afraid
of
snakes.意为我害怕蛇。I
am
afraid
of
seeing
that
kind
of
movies.我害怕看那种电影。
be
afraid
to:这里的to是动词不定式to
do的用法，所以只能说be
afraid
to
do。比如Iam
afraid
to
talk
with
my
teacher.我害怕跟老师谈话。
be
afraid
of
doing
和be
afraid
to
do没什么太大区别，硬要区分的话前者表示自己做过这件事之后感到害怕
后者表示对没有做过的事情感到害怕
