词源解说

用法辨析
- curious的意思有二:一是“好奇的”,用於褒義時可指“好求知的”,用於貶義時可指“愛打聽的,愛琯閑事的”,在句中可作主語或表語; 二是“奇妙的,稀奇的”,在句中主要用作主語,也可用於形式主語結搆。
- curious可接that或wh-從句,其中that從句後的謂語動詞必須用其虛擬式; curious作定語時,多半用作貶義。
- curious一般不用very脩飾,不用於比較級和最高級。
- curious to know和curious to hear都可以解釋爲“很想知道……”的意思。I am curious to know where he stays. 我很想知道她呆在哪。
- curious to relate和curious to say可單獨使用，意爲“說來真奇怪”。Curious to relate/say,the boy was not drowned. 說來也奇怪，這個男孩沒有溺死。
- curious後麪可接how，what或者that引導的從句。We felt curious how they would receive our advise. 注意that從句中需用should。
