adj.(形容词)

curious的意思有二:一是“好奇的”,用于褒义时可指“好求知的”,用于贬义时可指“爱打听的,爱管闲事的”,在句中可作主语或表语; 二是“奇妙的,稀奇的”,在句中主要用作主语,也可用于形式主语结构。

curious可接that或wh-从句,其中that从句后的谓语动词必须用其虚拟式; curious作定语时,多半用作贬义。

curious一般不用very修饰,不用于比较级和最高级。

curious to know和curious to hear都可以解释为“很想知道……”的意思。

我很想知道她呆在哪。

curious to relate和curious to say可单独使用，意为“说来真奇怪”。

curious后面可接how，what或者that引导的从句。
