单词 for fear of(in fear of)
释义 fear 、 for ~ of : in ~ of — 346
1a. 这两个短语介词几乎同义,都作“害怕”或“惧怕”讲,只是 for fear of 侧重后果,而 in fear of 则侧重生命。
例如:

Knowing he had many enemies, he went about in fear of his life. 他自己明白结仇很多,因此他处处害怕有人暗算他。
1b. 其次,前者多半用于事故,而后者则往往是对人。
例如:
The old lady hesitated to cross the road, for fear of being knocked down by a car. 这位老太太生怕被汽车撞倒,在过马路时踌躇不前。(用于事故)
As a father he was so tyrannical that all his children stood in fear of him. 他是一个暴虐异常的父亲,所有他的孩子都怕他。(对人而言)
