常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Concerned"?Which "Concerned" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×I am concerned about the safety of the building.

I am concerned about the safety of the building.

雖然句子本身正確,但許多學習者會誤以為 'concerned' 只能接 'about'。實際上,'concerned' 後面可接 'about'、'with'、'for' 或 'that' 子句,語意略有不同。'Concerned about' 表示擔心某事;'concerned with' 表示與...有關或涉及;'concerned for' 表示為某人感到擔憂。

×The concerned parents attended the meeting.

The parents concerned attended the meeting.

形容詞 'concerned' 放在名詞前後,意思不同。放在名詞前 (如 concerned parents) 意思是「擔憂的、關心的」。放在名詞後 (如 parents concerned) 意思是「相關的、涉及到的」。這裡想表達的是「相關的家長」,所以應放在名詞後。

×I concern about the rising cost of living.

I am concerned about the rising cost of living.

'Concern' 作動詞時,主語通常是事物 (sth concerns sb),表示「使某人擔憂」。若要表達「某人擔心某事」,應使用被動語態 'be concerned about' 或使用 'concern' 的名詞形式 'have concerns about'。這裡想表達主語「我」的感受,應使用形容詞 'concerned'。

×As far as I am concerned, the plan is perfect.

As far as I'm concerned, the plan is perfect.

片語 'as far as I am concerned' 用於表達個人意見或立場,意思是「就我而言」、「依我看」。雖然文法上 'I am' 沒錯,但在這個固定片語中,口語及非正式寫作中更常使用縮寫 'I'm'。學習者常誤解此片語意思,以為是「就我所關心的範圍」,實際上它與「擔憂」無關,僅用於引述個人觀點。

×He looked concernedly at the broken machine.

He looked concerned at the broken machine.

'Concerned' 本身就是形容詞,修飾主語 'He' 的狀態,意思是「他看起來很擔憂」。'Concernedly' 是副詞,修飾動詞 'looked',但用法較不自然且少見。在 'look'、'seem'、'appear' 等系動詞 (linking verbs) 後,應使用形容詞 'concerned' 來描述主語,而非副詞。
