【用法】1)anxious的本意是“焦(忧)虑的,不安的”(见(1))。“切盼的,渴(热)望的”(见(3))的用法常常遭到反对,因此,在非常正式的场合下,此时最好换用eager; 2)表示焦(忧)虑的原因时,一般用about,表示切盼、渴望的内容时用for,或接从句(此时从句中的谓语动词用(should+)动词原形)或不定式,名词anxiety的搭配也基本与之相同。

【辨异】1) anxiouseagerkeen都可表示“切盼”、“渴望”。但是anxious指忧虑不安地盼着做某事或发生某事,如:be anxious to see the sick;eager(渴望的,热切的)则是指兴奋急切地盼着做某事或发生某事,如:be eager to see the famous writer;而keen(渴望的,热心的)则是指出于兴趣、欲望,盼着做某事或发生某事,如:be keen to see the new film;注意,严格说来,在正式场合下,用eager而不用anxious,如下面句中,最好用前者而不用后者:The child is eager for Christmas to come.2) anxiousnervousupset都可表示心中不安。但是anxious指对可能会发生的事担心、不安;nervous(害怕的,紧张的)是指对正在发生的事激动不安;upset(不安的,苦恼的)则是指对已发生的事心烦不安。
