Grammar explanation语法解释

Some adjectives go with certain prepositions. There are no grammatical rules for which preposition is used with which adjective, so it’s a good idea to try to learn them together. To help you do this, write new vocabulary in your notebook in a sentence or phrase.有些形容词与某些介词搭配。介词与形容词的使用没有语法规则，因此最好尝试一起学习它们。为了帮助您做到这一点，请在笔记本上用句子或短语写下新词汇。

However, there are some patterns that can help you. Let’s look at them first. Remember that a preposition is followed by a noun or a gerund (-ing form).但是，有一些模式可以帮助您。我们先来看看它们。请记住，介词后跟名词或动名词（-ing 形式）。

With at 使用at

We use at with adjectives like good/bad/amazing/brilliant/terrible, etc. to talk about skills and abilities.我们将 at 与好/坏/惊人/辉煌/可怕等形容词一起使用来谈论技能和能力。

He’s really good at English.他英语真的很好。
She’s amazing at the piano.她的钢琴弹得很棒。
They’re terrible at organising anything.他们不擅长组织任何事情。

With about 使用about

We often use about with adjectives of feelings like angry/excited/happy/nervous/sad/stressed/worried, etc. to explain what is causing that feeling.我们经常将 about 与表示感觉的形容词一起使用，例如愤怒/兴奋/快乐/紧张/悲伤/压力/担心等来解释是什么导致了这种感觉。

I’m angry about the decision.我对这个决定感到愤怒。
He’s nervous about the presentation.他对演讲感到紧张。
She’s excited about the new job.她对新工作感到很兴奋。

You should be proud of your progress.你应该为自己的进步感到自豪。

With to使用to

He’s married to the director.他和导演结婚了。
I’m addicted to my phone.我对手机上瘾了。
I’m allergic to nuts.我对坚果过敏。
It’s similar to the old one.这和旧的很相似。

We can also use to to talk about someone’s behaviour towards someone else.我们还可以使用 to 来谈论某人对其他人的行为。
