concerned,concerning的用法辨析
concern这个词是新课标高中英语模块一中的重点词汇,也是高考高频考试词汇。考生和教师有必要对其的一些相关用法进行深入学习。下面就是有关该词的核心知识点,希望对大家有所帮助。
concerned,concerning这两个词的词义并不相同,用法亦有异。
- This agreement will be signed by the partiesconcerned.此协议将由各有关方面签署。
- They called on all departments concerned to take prompt stepsto promote the development of lightindustry. 他们要求各有关部门迅速采取措施,促进轻工业发展。
由例句可见,concerned用作形容词解作“有关的”时,是后置定语,大都放在它所修饰的名词之后。但在动词“tobe”之后而同样解作“关于”时,则要用be concerned with的形式,如:
This book is concerned with English usage. 此书是与英语惯用法有关。
值得注意的是,concerned(亦可表示动词之意)也可解作“关心”、“担心”、“挂…念的,担…心”的解,与之搭配的介词为at、about或,用作此意时,concerned也是形容词。例:

下面是concerning的例句:

在个别场合下,concerned with可以和concerning互换使用,原因是从句which areconcerned with中的which are 省略了。例如:

请注意,下列语句的区别:
- They were concerned(worried)about the matter.他们为此事而担忧。
- They were concerned(implicated)in the matter.他们参与此事。
- They were concerned (connected)with the matter.他们与此事有关。
此外,作为特定词组,as far as I am concerned解作in my opinion;
as far as sth is concerned解作concerning sth/ talking aboutsth.例:
- As far as I'm concerned,this plan isimpractical.依我来看,这个计划不切实际。
