Some adjectives go with certain prepositions. There is no real pattern – you need to learn them as you meet them. Here are some examples but remember that there are many other adjective + preposition combinations that are not covered here.

有些形容詞和一些固定的介詞搭配出現(xiàn)。但是并沒有固定的模式——你需要在遇到它們的時(shí)候去學(xué)習(xí)和記住。這里我給出一些例子，但是要記住，還有很多這里沒有講到的“形容詞+介詞”的搭配。

With ‘a(chǎn)t’

跟at搭配

I’m quite good at English but I’m bad at maths and I’m terrible at physics.

?

With ‘for’

跟for搭配

?? Jogging is good for your health but smoking is bad for you.

?? The town is famous for its cheese.

As well as ‘good for’, ‘bad for’ and ‘famous for’ we also say ‘qualified for’ ‘ready for’, ‘responsible for’, ‘suitable for’ and several others.

?

With ‘of’

跟of搭配

?? I’m perfectly capable of doing it myself, thank you.

?? I’m very fond of this old sweatshirt.

As well as ‘capable of’ and ‘fond of’ we also say ‘a(chǎn)ware of’, ‘full of’, ‘tired of’ and several others.

?

With ‘with’

跟with 搭配

?? We’re very pleased with your progress.

?? You’re not still angry with me are you?

As well as ‘pleased with’ and ‘a(chǎn)ngry with’ we also say ‘bored with’, ‘delighted with’, ‘satisfied with’ and several others.

?

With ‘to’

跟to搭配

?? She’s the one who’s married to a doctor, isn’t she?

?? You’ll be responsible to the head of the Finance department.

?? Notice that you can be responsible for something but responsible to someone.

?

Other common adjective + preposition combinations include ‘interested in’ and ‘keen on’. It’s a good idea to make a note of new combinations in your vocabulary notebook as you meet them. Remember too that a preposition is followed by a noun or a gerund (‘ing’ form).

其他常見的“形容詞+介詞”組合包括‘interested in’ 和‘keen on’.在你遇到類似的組合的時(shí)候把它們記在你的學(xué)習(xí)筆記本里是一個(gè)不錯(cuò)的想法。別忘了，介詞后跟名詞或者動(dòng)名詞（ing形式）。
