语感
be aware of = 持续知晓,realize = 突然意识到,conscious = 有意注意
意识到知道有……意识
三词都可译「意识到」,动作/状态不同:be aware of = 处于知晓状态,持续的(I am aware of the problem = 我知道这个问题的存在);realize = 突然明白,一次性(I suddenly realized I was wrong = 我突然意识到我错了);conscious = 有意识地关注,主动的(be conscious of one's appearance = 有意识地关注外表)。aware 不能用作 know:知道某个事实用 know,知晓某个问题的存在用 aware of。
陷阱
⚠️aware 必须用 be aware of,不能单独作谓语
✗
She aware the danger.
她意识到了危险。
aware 是形容词,必须搭配 be 动词,且通常接 of;不能单独作谓语
✓
She was aware of the danger.
她意识到了危险。
⚠️aware vs realize 动作vs状态
I suddenly realized that I had left my passport at home.
✗
换用:I was suddenly aware that I had left my passport at home(勉强可以,但realize更自然)
