用法辨析

v. (动词)

• bother的基本意思是“打扰”“搅扰”,指使人受到烦扰或在精神上烦恼; 尤指把某人弄得焦急不安,心烦意乱,心情不能平静或专一,在句中多半用于否定结构。
• bother在表示“烦扰”“烦恼”时,除人体的head, brain, heart等或由人组成的机构、组织以及个别俚语(如bother the record)以外, bother一般不用事实作直接宾语; bother着重“打扰”行为的本身,而不指由此而产生的“烦躁”“不安”状态,因此表达“感觉烦躁”这个意思时,不能说I feel bothered.而应说I feel restless.
• bother可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词。表示“某事或某人使某人操心或焦急”时以“原因”为主语，以人为宾语；表示“为某事而操心或焦急”时以人作主语，“某事”则由with或about引出。在全否定句中,bother可接动词不定式或动名词(可认为其前省略了介词about)作宾语,两者意思上无明显差别。bother还可接以动词不定式充当宾语补足语的复合宾语。bother可用于被动结构,语气要比主动结构时稍强。
• bother在口语中还可用作感叹语，意为“讨厌”,表示不耐烦或厌恶的感叹。

n. (名词)

• bother作“麻烦”“不便”“忧虑”解时是不可数名词; 作“令人烦恼的人或事物”“引起麻烦的人或事物”解时是可数名词，其前可加不定冠词。
• bother也可作“努力”解,是不可数名词。
• bother在作“斗殴”“暴力行为”解时,多用在英式英语的非正式口语中。
• 表示“打扰或麻烦某人时”，可用bother…with/about….Don't bother your father about it now. 现在先不要麻烦你的父亲。
• bother表示“费心”时，有多种表达方法，而且多用否定句式。bother (oneself) to do是不定式。bother (oneself) about后面跟名词或动名词。Don't bother to answer this. 不要费心去答复它。Don't bother about answering this.
