anxious与eager的用法辨析
1. 表示“担心的”“焦虑的”这一意义时,只能用 anxious,不用 eager;表示“为……担心”,一般后接介词 about, for。如:
an anxious mother 焦虑不安的母亲
He is anxious about [for] her safety. 他担心她的安全。
I’m not in the slightest anxious about it. 我一点儿也不为它担心。

anxious/eager

Everyone was eager to know if our women volleyball team had won.大家急切地想知道我们的女排是否赢了。
<辨析>两者都可以译为“急于”。anxious 着重指“担心”或“焦急”。eager 着重指对成功的“期望”,表示一种进取的心情。两者均可跟介词 for 或 about。例如:I am anxious about his health.我很担心他的健康。He is eager about his progress.他渴望进步。anxious 也有“很想”、“渴望”的意思,后接动词不定式。如例1)。开头提到的两个例句中 anxious 和 eager 可通用,但 eager 决不可能表示“焦急”、“担心”的意思。
