Jealous adj. 嫉妒的;
第一个用法很直接和基本,就是be/feel/get + jealous 感觉有一点羡慕嫉妒恨。比如:
e.g. My girlfriend get jealous easily. 我女朋友很容易吃醋。
e.g. I was tempted to feel a little jealous. 我有点嫉妒了。
第二个用法,如果你想说嫉妒的具体内容,可以说be jealous of +人/物,都可以。比如说:
e.g. I’m so jealous of you/your success. 我好羡慕嫉妒你/你的成功。
e.g. How does one not become frustrated and jealous of those who are achieving the things you desperately want?
第三个分享的是jealous的名词是jealousy, 嫉妒心。比如:Friends become haters through jealousy. 因为有嫉妒心理,朋友会变成讨厌的人。
Jealous 更多强调的有一点点负面的,感觉到自己收到了“威胁”,所以因为羡慕产生嫉妒和恨。而envious 是比较类似羡慕的感觉。比如:I’m so envious of him. 我真的很羡慕他。I’m envious of his abilities and possessions. 我羡慕他的能力也羡慕他拥有的东西。
