bother表示“費心”時，有多種表達(dá)方法，而且多用否定句式。bother (oneself) to do是不定式。bother (oneself) about后面跟名詞或動名詞。 Don't bother to answer this.不要費心去答復(fù)它。 Don't bother about answering this.
have bother (in)…（擔(dān)心做某事）結(jié)構(gòu)中，in后面要接名詞或動名詞，常可省略in。 I didn't have much bother (in) getting him to go with me.我不擔(dān)心找他和我一起去。
v.(動詞)bother的基本意思是“打擾”“攪擾”,指使人受到煩擾或在精神上煩惱; 尤指把某人弄得焦急不安,心煩意亂,心情不能平靜或?qū)Ｒ?在句中多半用于否定結(jié)構(gòu)。
bother在表示“煩擾”“煩惱”時,除人體的head, brain, heart等或由人組成的機(jī)構(gòu)、組織以及個別俚語(如bother the record)以外, bother一般不用事實作直接賓語; bother著重“打擾”行為的本身,而不指由此而產(chǎn)生的“煩躁”“不安”狀態(tài),因此表達(dá)“感覺煩躁”這個意思時,不能說I feel bothered.而應(yīng)說I feel restless.
bother可用作不及物動詞,也可用作及物動詞。表示“某事或某人使某人操心或焦急”時以“原因”為主語，以人為賓語；表示“為某事而操心或焦急”時以人作主語，“某事”則由with或about引出。在全否定句中,bother可接動詞不定式或動名詞(可認(rèn)為其前省略了介詞about)作賓語,兩者意思上無明顯差別。bother還可接以動詞不定式充當(dāng)賓語補足語的復(fù)合賓語。bother可用于被動結(jié)構(gòu),語氣要比主動結(jié)構(gòu)時稍強(qiáng)。
bother在口語中還可用作感嘆語，意為“討厭”,表示不耐煩或厭惡的感嘆。

n.(名詞)bother作“麻煩”“不便”“憂慮”解時是不可數(shù)名詞; 作“令人煩惱的人或事物”“引起麻煩的人或事物”解時是可數(shù)名詞，其前可加不定冠詞。
bother也可作“努力”解,是不可數(shù)名詞。
