情緒動詞句型介紹與實際案例全解析 - 正面或中性情緒動詞分享
文章編號:G21-05
英文有些動詞,不僅都傳達跟情緒相關的意思,而且用法上高度相似,所以台灣文法書喜歡將之歸類為「情緒動詞」。
怎麼說這些動詞用法相似呢?
它們使用在句子中時,常常有三個句型可以互換。而且其中第一個句型跟第三個句型的轉換就是主被動句的轉換。
是哪三個句型呢?怎麼說會用到主被動互換的概念呢?這篇文章徹底解析,
也建議要先學會《G12-01英文被動態8大結構與主被動態轉換完全解析》所談的概念,再來讀這篇文章繼續用情緒動詞練習主被動轉換,才會有英文功力再升級的感受唷~
情緒動詞三大句型
上述提的三個句型先寫出來:
|
注意:句型1轉句型3就是主動轉被動的概念,但被動句句尾不完全是「by + 做動作者」,常會換成其他介係詞。
注意:A為名詞,可以是人或事/物,但比較多為「事物」,故才會有「情緒動詞Ving修飾事物」這一說法,但這說法不全然準確,因為情緒動詞Ving也有可能修飾人。
注意:B也為名詞,大多為「人」,因為人才會感受到情緒,故才會有「情緒動詞pp.修飾人」的說法。但如果把動物擬人化,那B也有可能是動物。再者,少數有些情緒動詞pp.,例如relaxed (adj.), 可以修飾事物,詳見V2系列文章.
情緒動詞舉例
回來看這三個句型,如果目前覺得它們看起來很陌生,無法或不想理解都沒關係,我們每個情緒動詞都來個例句,並依照上面三個句型的順序改寫一遍。完整走一遍後到文末再回頭來看這三個句型,你就會自然記住了~讀句子時可以自己默念或默想一下再往下看答案,這樣除了可以多練習主被動轉換之外,這三個句型會更快上手唷。
一般自修書或是網路文章頂多舉出10多個情緒動詞當例子,但日光英文一口氣把大部分7000單單字範圍內會遇到的情緒動詞列舉出來,讓各位在熟悉情緒動詞三大句型之餘,還可以同時擴充字彙量。不過這樣整理出來有超過40個情緒動詞,一篇文章塞不下,故分為「正面或中性情緒篇」跟「反面情緒篇」二篇文章來討論。

中文意思要背「使...」嗎?
另外,曾經有同學問:好多英文動詞意思都要背「使怎樣怎樣」,那個「使」一定要背嗎?覺得好麻煩唷,而中文這「使」字也不是很好聽...(諧音關係)。像interest要背「使...有興趣」,不可以只背「有興趣」嗎?
日光英文建議學習單字時如果採用中文定義,中文定義都要盡量抓精準,才不會讓中文絆住了自己的英文學習。
例如這邊的情緒動詞,中文裡的「使」字還是要背出來,這樣才能讓自己意會到「interest這個字是事物使人有興趣,不是人自己有興趣~」熟悉這三個句型後,就知道依照這兩個中文意思去寫出來的英文句子是有差的~所以中文意思裡的「使」字要背出來。
