江蘇豐縣  李  翔

一、aghast 的用法

基本義：驚奇的；驚恐的 (filled with horror or amazement)

2. aghast to do sth。例如：

As I lay in that dark hour, I was aghast to realise that something was within me. 當(dāng)我在黑夜里躺著的時(shí)候，吃驚地體會(huì)到我心里有某種東西。

■作賓語補(bǔ)足語

■作狀語

■(有時(shí))作前置定語

二、aghast 的搭配

1. a little [a bit, equally, properly，quite, slightly, truly，totally]aghast。例如：

I was quite aghast when I read some of the questions. 當(dāng)讀到一些問題時(shí)， 我相當(dāng)驚恐。

注：楊發(fā)河著《英語形容詞句型活用指南》(江西高校出版社1992年12月第1版)p14：aghast前不用very，如不說very aghast，而說much[very much] aghast。

然而，在BNC(http://www.natcorp.ox.ac.uk)和BUY-BNC BRTISH NATIONAL CORPUS (UK,1980s-1993) (Mark Davies, Brigham Young University ) http://corpus.byu.edu/bnc/ 上共有152例包含aghast 的例句，竟無1例much[very much] aghast；

在BYU: THE OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY(http://corpus.byu/oed/)上共有49例包含aghast 的例句，竟無1例much[very much] aghast；

在TIME CORPUS OF AMERICAN ENGLISH (1923-2006) (Mark Davies, Brigham Young University ) (http://corpus.byu.edu/time) 上共有273例包含aghast 的例句，竟無1例much[very much] aghast；

在BUY CORPUS OF AMERICAN ENGLISH (1990-2008) (Mark Davies, Brigham Young University) http://www.americancorpus.org/上共有489例包含aghast 的例句，竟無1例much[very much] aghast。

由此看來，盡管語法專家根據(jù)語法理論認(rèn)為much或very much可以修飾aghast，但實(shí)際上，無論英國英語還是美國英語都不用much或very much修飾aghast，而是通常用all 來修飾aghast。

2. be [feel, look, seem, sound, stand]aghast。例如：

“Ten days? ” She was aghast. “十天？”她很驚奇。
