dangerous 与 dangerously
1.dangerous是“(引起)危险的”,不是“受到危险的”,如He is dangerous是“他是(引起)危险的”,就是“他易于使别人受到危险”,不是“他自己受到危险”。说“他自己受到危险”该说He is in danger或He is endangered。英美人也有把dangerous用作“(因病而)受到危险的”解的,但这主要是方言用法。
He is dangerous虽然不是“他自己受到危险”,但He is dangerously ill和He is dangerously near the edge of the precipice两句里的dangerously都指“他”的受到危险。但须注意dangerously并不修饰He而修饰ill和near,dangerously ill是“生了危险疾病的”,就是“病危”。dangerously near是“引起危险地近”,那dangerous(ly)仍旧是“引起危险”,不是“受到危险”。
2.It is dangerous to bathe in this river和This river is dangerous to bathe in都可以说,也可以说This is a dangerous river to bathe in。
