tired1

be tired of/from

问

请辨析 be(get) tired of 与 be(get)tired from。

答

应记住: be(get) tired of 是指“对……感到厌倦”, 而 be(get) tired from 是指“因……而疲倦”。例如：

  1. You'll soon get very tired of me. (Walpole) 你很快就会对我感到厌倦的。

  2. I am tired of living abroad. (Wilde) 我对生活在国外感到厌倦了。

  3. Are you tired from rowing? (Hemingway) 你划船划累了吗?

  4. He felt tired from arguing. (Hemingway) 他觉得辩论累了。

现在来做下面的试题,就是轻而易举的了:

  1. "Why did you close the door?" "I'm tired ____ to the baby crying."

A. to listen B. of listen C. of listening D. listening (Michigan)

  1. “Do you like working as a waiter?” “Yes, but I get tired ____ the whole day.” A. with standing B. from standing C. to stand D. of the standing(TOEFL)

be tired of/with $^{1}$

问

“Let's play checkers, David.” “No, I'd rather not. I'm ____ that game.” A. tired about B. tired with C. tired of D. fed up(TOEFL) 答案为 C,能否选 B 呢?

答

不能选 B, 因为 be tired with 的意思是“因……而疲劳”, 不合句意。

  1. A lazy person often says, "I am tired with working." 懒人常常说:“我工作得太累了。”

  2. I am tired with climbing that steep hill. (Wood) 我爬那座陡山爬累了。

tired3

be tired of/with $^{2}$

问

——Let's go home. ——OK. I'm getting tired ____ shopping.

A. with B. at C. about D. of

《新高考英语必考语法精析》(商务印书馆国际有限公司, p.73) 给的答案是 D。我觉得应当选 A。您说呢？

答

be tired with 表示“因……而疲劳”，因而选 A 更符合语境。请设想有两个人在商店里购物，甲对乙说：“回家吧。”乙同意说：“好吧。购物已使我很疲倦了。”我们很难想象乙会回答说：“我对购物感到厌倦了。”难道说他以后不再购物了！

但在下述语境里,却只能用 tired of,而不能用 tired with:

  1. “Let's play checkers, David.” “No, I'd rather not. I'm ____ that game. A. tired about B. tired with C. tired of D. fed up “让我们玩跳棋吧。”“不，我不愿玩了。我对这种游戏感到厌倦了。”

  2. I'm tired of so much reading. 要阅读这么多东西,我真有点烦。
