表示忍受做某事,bear后面一般接动名词doing sth ,也可以接不定式to do sth,这两种结构意思上没有明显的区别。在这两种结构中, bear 通常与can't 或can hardly等否定式连用。例如:
He couldn't bear living alone. 他忍受不了单独的生活。
Some people cannot bear travelling by sea. 有些人人受不了海上旅行。
I can't bear to see / seeing people suffering. 我不忍看人受苦。
I can't bear being kept waiting. 我无法忍受别人叫我长时间地等候。
