题目

but how many of us can honestly say that we have not felt a little envious of their simple way of life and their freedom form care?
这句话里面 we have not felt a little envious of their simple way of life里面的envious,这里为什么要用形容词呢?不应该是用名词envy吗?还有最后面的their freedom form care,form 我理解不了

答案

a little 修饰 envious
feel 后面可以接 名词,例如 feel the impulse
feel 后面跟常见的是 接形容词 例如 feel happy等
但是 这句话里面的
feel envious of 实际上是 从 be envious of 中 演变而来,be 表示状态,
feel 表示感觉.
所以 不用 feel envy about无此短语.
第二,我怀疑你 打错了.
form care 应该是 from care
freedom from care 是 表示无忧无虑的意思.
讲到这里若还有不懂可继续追问.懂了请采纳.
