▲be careful doing sth 的意思是“做某事很小心”,其中的现在分词短语 doing sth 可理解为时间状语(即做某事时,可视为在其前省略了in, when, while 等词)。如:
Be careful dealing with such people. 和这种人打交道要小心。
He emphasized the importance of careful driving. 他强调了小心驾驶的重要性。
I pray that you’ll be careful driving in this storm. 我求你在这暴风雨中开车一定要小心。
If you’d been more careful crossing the road you wouldn’t have been hit by the car.要是你过马路时小心点就不会被车子撞了。
▲注意 be careful to do sth与be careful in doing sth 不同,前者指注意要做某事,后者指在做某事时很小心(其中的 in 与 while 同义)。如:
He’s careful to read every sentence. 他注意读(即不漏读)每一个句子。
He is careful in reading every sentence. 他读每个句子都很仔细。
