Question

what other people have

这道题为什么选D,不是A?
2.She is narrow minded and always _______ what other people have.
A.jealous B.owes C.misses D.envies

Answer 1

这里用and连接两个动词,第一个是is,be动词,第二个是envies,动词.
你要说选A,是形容词,当作加在be后面是没什么不可以的.有这样的用法.
例句：She is mean to everyone and jealous of everything.她对谁都很过分,对什么事都嫉妒.
看出区别了吗?如果要用jealous表示嫉妒,直接说她嫉妒she is jealous没问题,但是要说嫉妒什么,后面加名词的话,必须用介词of,不然搭配不成立.相对的,envy就可以直接用了.
She is jealous of our success.
她嫉妒我们的成就.
I was jealous of Sarah when she got her new bicycle.
萨拉有了一辆新的自行车,我很羡慕她.
I was very jealous of Sarah's new bicycle.
我很羡慕萨拉的新自行车.
