"be aware of" 是英语中常用的动词短语,意为 "意识到;知道;觉察到;了解",强调对某一事物、情况或事实有明确的认知或注意(即"心里有数")。
该短语的结构为 "be动词 + aware + of + 宾语",关键在于"of"后面需接名词、代词、动名词(-ing)等名词性成分(不能直接接句子)。以下是常见场景和搭配:
表示"意识到某事物/某人",宾语是具体或抽象的事物。
I am aware of the danger of driving too fast.(我意识到超速驾驶的危险。)
She wasn’t aware of the change in the schedule.(她没察觉到日程的变化。)
Are you aware of this new policy?(你知道这项新政策吗?)
表示"意识到自己正在做/已经做了某事",动名词强调动作的过程或状态。
He is aware of making a mistake in the report.(他意识到自己在报告里犯了错。)
They were aware of being watched by someone.(他们觉察到有人在监视自己。)
通过修饰"aware"的副词,强调"完全/充分/很清楚"意识到:
be fully aware of(完全意识到):We are fully aware of the importance of education.(我们完全意识到教育的重要性。)
be well aware of(很清楚;深知):He is well aware of the challenges ahead.(他很清楚未来的挑战。)
be only too aware of(非常清楚;极其明白):She is only too aware of how much work is left.(她非常清楚还剩多少工作。)
表示"没意识到;不知道",常用于陈述"不知情"的状态。
I was not aware of his illness until yesterday.(直到昨天我才知道他生病了。)
They are not aware of the impact of their actions.(他们没意识到自己行为的影响。)
用于询问对方是否"知道/意识到"某事。
Are you aware of the time? We’re going to be late!(你注意到时间了吗?我们要迟到了!)
Is the company aware of the customer complaints?(公司知道客户的投诉吗?)
"be aware of" 后接名词性成分(名词、代词、动名词);
"be aware that..." 后接完整的从句(句子),直接表达"意识到的内容"。
例:
She is aware of the problem.(她意识到这个问题。)→ 接名词
She is aware that the problem is serious.(她意识到问题很严重。)→ 接从句
"be aware of" 是表达"认知/觉察"的基础短语,核心是"of + 名词性成分",常用于日常交流、书面语(如新闻、论文)中,强调"对某事物有明确认知"。
记住:of后面不接句子,接句子用that!
