focused on和 focus on的區別？

10-08

with our busy lifestyles and continuous distractions,its hard to stay focussed on one task。這裡為什麼要用focussed on?這是bbc news里的一篇文章,我始終搞不懂focused on和focus on什麼時候用?

不要看到-ed結尾就理解為過去式或過去分詞，focused也是個獨立的單詞，是形容詞；而focus是動詞（或名詞）。在這裡，stay作為系動詞，跟keep, remain等這些辭彙類似，所以，後面可跟形容詞focused. 如：

1. Its as if all eyes are focused on me.

好像所有的目光都聚集在我身上似的。(形容詞)

2. I was not always as focused as I should have been on school。

我並不是一直都能專註於學業。（形容詞，還可以把focused on 分開來）

3. Thats what I want to focus on today –The responsibility each of you has for your education.

這就是我今天講話的重點：你們每個人要對自己的教育負責。（動詞）

"To focus" can be transitive or intransitive. You can focus your camera, and you can focus on your camera.

When you use the transitive in active voice, it imphasizes your intention. I focused my attention on getting the ball over the plate.

Intransitive may be a little less forceful: I focused on getting the ball over the plate.

Transitive passive is a little unusual: I was focused by my vehicles sudden loss of traction, and I worked desperately to regain control.

Active voice with verb "to be" plus past participle (adjective) complement is the one youre talking about. "I was focused on my work." It describes your condition, but in my opinion doesnt have the deliberateness of transitive active. You might use it as an excuse. "I didnt see the train coming because I was focused on the guy behind me."

"I didnt see the train coming because I was focused on the guy behind me."

If I understand what you have said, this sentence seems to include the nuance like the person failed to see the train coming because the presence of the guy distracted him/her...

It is interesting.

"Be focused on A" sounds like "focus on A involuntarily."

上文中 stay focused on xx focused on 是分詞形容詞性，focus on 是動詞短語，詞性不同。

謝妖用句子可以理解focused 作形容詞，表狀態

stay後面跟狀態，形容詞表狀態，focused是分詞形式，具有形容詞的作用

從形式上看：

focus-ed on 是 focus on 的過去分詞形式

形式呈現在整個句子當中的時候：

It』s hard to stay focused on one task.

stay=be (含義用於表示狀態）（即相當於系動詞了）

stay focused on —-保持專註於

你可以理解為固定搭配

從句子的語法意義來分析：

stay在這裡是作為連繫動詞,後面要跟形容詞，構成形容詞作表語（系表結構）

稍微補充：

表語是用來說明主語的性質，身份，特徵和狀態。表語一般放在系動詞之後。表語可以由名詞，形容詞或起名詞和形容詞作用的詞和短語擔任。(focused on 作為「起形容詞作用的短語」，在句子中它是表語成分）

句意補充贅述：

We tend to get distracted, so having a set time frame for each will help you stay focused.

我們很容易走神，所以為每項任務設定時間範圍會幫助你注意力集中。

這裡stay是be動詞，後接形容詞表狀態。比如stay calm。
