aware 作“意識到的”解, 通常只用作述語, 而conscious 既可用作述語, 又可用作形容詞:
- They became aware of a peculiar smell in the room. 他們發覺房間裡有一股特殊的氣味。
- She is politically aware. 她有政治覺悟。
- The conscious patient ~ The patient is aware. 神智清醒的病人~ 病人神志清醒。
但是, 當aware 作“有覺悟的”、“明智的”解時, 可作前置形容詞。
- a politically aware person. 一個有政治覺悟的人.
- Would an aware, thinking person say such foolish things? 一個懂事的、有頭腦的人會說這種蠢話嗎?
- He was very conscious of his shortcomings. 他很清楚自己的短處。
- He smiled to express conscious superiority. 他笑了, 表現出有意識的優越感。
- Gain conscious familiarity with features of the English sound, grammar, vocabulary, and cultural systems. 有意識地去熟悉英語語音、文法、詞彙和文化體系的特點。
