英语语法 | 区别 fool 和 foolish 等不同程度的傻!

一. "fool"

1.用作名词,表示“傻子”,通常为可数名词:

I do feel a fool.

我的确觉得自己是个傻子。

但是,在be fool enough to do sth结构中,fool具有形容词的性质,不可数,其前不用冠词:

如:

I was fool enough to believe him.

我竟然相信他,真够傻的。

He was fool enough to tell them everything.

他真傻,把一切事情都告诉他们了。

2. 用作动词,表示“愚弄”“欺骗”,总是及物的:

She fooled that man.

她骗了那个人。

要表示“欺骗某人做某事”,可用fool sb into doing sth,习惯上不说fool sb to do sth。

如:

I was fooled into believing their promises.

我被骗得相信了他们的承诺。


二. “foolish”

1.形容词,做表语:

It was foolish of her to say such a thing.

=She was foolish to say such a thing.

她说出那样的话来,真是太蠢了。

He was foolish to leave his car unlocked.

=He was so foolish as to leave his car unlocked.

他真傻,车都没有锁。

2. foolish, stupid, silly的区别:

1)foolish指无头脑,缺乏常识或判断力,相当汉语的“愚蠢”;

2)stupid指智力、理解力或学习能力很差,相当汉语的“笨”;

3)silly指头脑简单,傻头傻脑或令人发笑,相当于汉语的“傻”。

She is a silly woman, but not a stupid / foolish one.

她是个头脑简单的女人,但不能算笨。
