动词worry与be worried的区别是什么

我看见“好题”网友对这两个短语做了比较。

我主要从用法上作一分析。其实，这两个短语动词的用法是完全一样的。

◆重要提示 worry 和 be worried 都不能直接跟宾语，需要加 about。如接that从句，则去掉 about，这说明两个问题：介词不能接 that 从句，还说明一个问题，这个 that 从句不是“担忧”的宾语，而是“担忧”的状语，原因状语。

1. 都可以接名词、代词、动名词作宾语：

Don't worry about the cost/it/losing the game.

I'm worried about the cost/it/losing the game.

2. 都可以接wh-clasue 作宾语：

They worry about how they will support themselves in their old age

Everyone is worried about where and when this will end.

3. 去掉 about，都可以接that-clasue 作宾语：

I worry that I won't get into college.

The police are worried that the man may be armed.

Imboss 是本网老网友了，这个问题应该早就明白了吧。我想本网相关解答应该很多。worry 强调动作，be worried 表示状态。worried是形容词。例如：

His poor health is worrying me. I am worried about his health.

也可以说：

His poor health makes me worried/worry.

有类似用法的词太多了，如marry 和be married，excite/be excited等。
