“strict with”是形容词短语,核心含义为“对……(人)要求严格”,需与be动词(am/is/are/was/were等)连用,强调对“人”的约束或要求。
结构:主语 + be动词 + strict with + 人(sb.)
(“with”后接具体的人,如家人、学生、员工等)
例:
My parents are strict with me.(我父母对我要求严格。)
The coach is strict with the players.(教练对球员要求严格。)
Don’t be too strict with the kids—they’re only 5 years old.(别对孩子太严,他们才5岁。)
若要表达“对某人在某件事上要求严格”,可在后面加about/in + 事物(sth.),结构为:
例:
My teacher is strict with us about our homework.(老师对我们的作业要求严格。)
She is strict with herself in her diet.(她对自己的饮食要求很严。)
The boss is strict with his employees about punctuality.(老板对员工的守时要求严格。)
strict with + 人:对“人”严格(针对人的行为、态度);
strict about/in + 事:对“事”严格(针对事情的标准、质量)。
例:
✅ He is strict with his son.(他对儿子严格。)
❌ He is strict with his son’s grades.(错误:grades是“事”,需用about/in)
✅ He is strict about his son’s grades.(他对儿子的成绩要求严格。)
be动词随主语和时态变化,常见形式:
现在时:am/is/are → I am strict with myself.(我对自己严格。)
过去时:was/were → My math teacher was strict with me last year.(去年我的数学老师对我很严。)
将来时:will be → Will you be strict with your children?(你会对你的孩子严格吗?)
“strict with”是对“人”严格的固定表达,若涉及“事”需搭配“about/in”。记住核心结构:
