畏惧( fear的过去式和过去分词 );为…忧虑(或担心、焦虑);敬畏(神等);感到害怕;

这组词都有“惧怕,恐惧”的意思。它们的区别是:
fear是个广义词,指内在的害怕心理; dread指由于预知某一不愉快或令人惊惧的事要发生而带来的恐惧或由于预料到危险即将来临而产生的恐惧; alarm指由于危险的突然出现而产生的惊慌失措的恐惧; terror指因受到外界刺激而产生的恐惧心理。例如:
She has a dread of losing her property.她担心财产丢失。
They live in the dread of forest fire.他们住的地方时常担心有森林火灾的发生。
He gave the alarm when the thief appeared.小偷出现时他发出警报。
Their eyes were wide with alarm when the burning building collapsed.当着火的大楼倒塌时,他们惊恐地睁大了眼睛。
They suffered untold terrors in the dark.在黑暗中他们感到无以名状的恐惧。
这两个词都是“害怕”的意思。它们的区别是:
1.afraid 是形容词, fear是动词(也可作名词)。be afraid of=fear, be afraid of v -ing = fear to- v 。例如:
There is nothing to fear〔to be afraid of〕.没有什么好怕的。
I fear offending him.〔I am afraid of offending him.〕我怕得罪他。
We are not afraid of difficulties.〔We fear no difficulty.〕我们不怕困难。
2.在非正式场合, be afraid (of)比fear常用得多。例如:
Are you afraid of the dark?天这么黑了,你害怕吗?
虽然Do you fear the dark?也是可以的,但是在口语里不大这么说。
fear的意思是“害怕”; 而fear for的意思是“为…担心”。例如:
He feared his wife.
他怕老婆。
He feared for his wife.
他为他的妻子担心。
It is feared that a similar epidemic will soon reach the shores of Europe...
人们担心类似的流行病很快会传到欧洲。
