Message de steeve34 posté le 05-03-2006 à 19:33:22 (S | E | F | I)
Bonjour à tous.

Les adjectifs anglais sont suivis d' une ou plusieurs prépositions.
Par exemple "angry" peut être suivi de with; at; about.
"disappointed" peut être suivi de in; with; at; about.
On peut aussi faire suivre "astonished" par at ou by indifféremment.
Selon le contexte il faut faire le bon choix.
C'est le but de cet exercice.
Un conseil: Consultez un bon dictionnaire.

Bonjour à tous,

Voici quelques commentaires.

To be sorry about sth =====> Exprimer ses regrets à propos de qqch.
Sorry about that, Kim.
To be sorry for doing sth====> Exprimer ses regrets d'avoir fait qqch.
Sorry for losing my temper this morning.
remarque:
I'm sorry that I lost my temper this morning a la même signification.

To be sorry for sb =====> Exprimer sa tristesse dans une situation donnée.
I'm terribly sorry for Dan. He was a nice chap.

On peut aussi employer sorry suivi d'un infinitif + TO
Sorry to disturb you = Sorry for disturbing you.
I'm sorry to have made such a fuss = I'm sorry for making such a fuss.

Anxious about (=worried about); Anxious for (=eager to have)

Anxious about =====> Être anxieux à propos de qqch/qqn.

Anxious for =====> Attendre qqch avec impatience.(mélée d'inquiétude parfois).

The whole family were anxious for news about the missing boy.

Remarque: la structure for + objet+infinitif avec TO peut être employée avec anxious.
She's anxious for her to see us her work.

On peut aussi employer l'infinitif après anxious.
She is anxious to go home.
She is anxious to find a better job.

Dans les trois cas précédents anxious=eager.

Autre remarque intéressante, les adjectifs exprimant la surprise ou l'impatience sont suivis d'un subjonctif avec SHOULD.
I'm surprised that you should think so.==> Je m'étonne que vous pensiez ainsi.
I'm very anxious that she should come.==> Je tiens beaucoup à ce qu'elle vienne.

To come forward: To offfer help to someone in authority who needs it or has asked for it.[ + with]

1-A young girl has come forward with a description of the attacker.
2-No witnesses to the accident have come forward yet, despite the police's appeal.
Remarque:
after NO, countable nouns are usually plural. C'est pourquoi j'ai mis witnesses au pluriel ainsi que le verbe(have et non has).
3-Nobody has yet come forward with any information relating to the girl's death.

Angry about(parfois at); Angry with.

Angry with (sb):

Why are you angry with me ? It's not my fault.

Angry about (sth):

Remarque:

Autre remarque intéressante, au sens figuré angry signifie enflammé, irrité douloureux.
