care: implies oppression of the mind by responsibility and apprehension: a face worn by a host of ~s. (apprehension害怕焦虑担心implies a mind preoccupied with fear and anxiety，如approached the dangerous undertaking with great apprehension接手这项危险任务时十分害怕，这里没有把anxiety焦虑译出来，如下文所述焦虑anxiety本质上就是害怕fear，但更严重) 又如谚语care kills a cat忧虑杀死猫，忧虑对即使"有九条命"的猫来说都会危及生命，对仅有一条命的人之危害就更不用说了，还比较喜欢the sky is so blue, the sunshine so bright, why is your face full of care天这样蓝，阳光这样明媚，为什么你的脸上满是忧虑
concern: implies a troubled state of mind and the interest, relation, affection, or responsibility that produces it: your happiness is my only ~. （troubled有2个意思 1、有很多问题having many problems，如a troubled child/student问题儿童/学生/marriage坎坷的婚姻/times乱世/country动荡的国家 2、担心焦虑的being worried and anxious，如a troubled expression/look/face焦虑的表情/样子/面容，注意到worry担心和anxiety焦虑是本组后两个词，这里显然用义项2）
solicitude: implies great concern or apprehension and connotes thoughtful or hovering attentiveness: behaved with typical maternal ~. （attentive本身表示thoughtful关心关照体贴，强调持续反复，emphasizes continuous thoughtfulness often shown by repeated acts of kindness，如a wonderfully attentive host主人一直很关照） hover鸟在空中飞翔盘旋，hovering这里形容高度关注
这个词常用于母亲对孩子，从十月怀胎到漂泊天涯母亲时刻保持牵挂，如本例，如诗经《二子乘舟》描写两个孩子乘舟远行时，母亲心中的忧愁担心牵挂，比concern更强烈持久
anxiety: stresses anguished uncertainty or fear of misfortune or failure: plagued by ~ and self-doubt. （anguish十分痛苦means extreme grief or pain，如mental anguish心里十分痛苦，如they watched in anguish as fire spread through the house看到大火烧过房子，心里十分痛苦，如拉丁短语per angustus ad augustus通过苦难走向辉煌，angustus很可能是拉丁中的anguish，都表示十分痛苦极端痛苦）
worry: suggests prolonged fretting over matters that may or may not be real cause for anxiety: a businessman’s endless list of ~ies. (fret烦恼，放不下心的to be worried or unhappy and not able to relax，如fretting over/about it won't help烦恼于事无补，如she told me not to fret about/over it她让我不要再为那事烦恼) 又如a gifted American psychologist has said, 'worry is a spasm of the emotion; the mind catches hold of something and will not let it go'一位有才华的美国心理学家曾说过，"烦恼是感情的发作，脑子紧紧抓住某种东西就是不肯放"，是丘吉尔<painting as a pastime绘画消遣>的第一句，新四第58篇
care忧虑: 因为责任重、常担心而使人思想压抑，concern关注: 指由于亲缘感情责任利益而担忧，solicitude牵挂: 指持续高度关注担心，anxiety焦虑: 强调使人十分痛苦地感到不安或害怕，worry担心；烦恼: 表示一直想不好的事情可能会发生，放不下心，但还没有达到anxiety焦虑的地步
记忆方法: 1）首字母CCSAW常常看到<=忧虑 ("愁"意思简单，字面意思是"牵挂秋天成熟的庄稼", 表示"遇到不好解决问题时的一种心理状态"，如发愁离愁别愁； "忧"有2个意思 1、愁 2、担心忧虑即担忧,如诗经《黍离》"知我者谓我心忧，不知我者谓我何求"是说"了解我的人知道我在为国担忧(忧心)，不了解我的人以为我是心有所求"，同样地，"先天下之忧而忧"也是第2个意思，可见忧比愁范围广；"虑"也有2个意思 1、担忧 2、思考，如"人无远虑必有近忧"中的虑同时表示担忧和思考，即虑比忧范围广，小结: 愁<忧<虑)
2）忧虑的意思是充满担忧mean a troubled or engrossed state of mind or the thing that causes this. （engross全神贯注to hold one's attention or interest completely完全抓住人注意力或兴趣，也就是充满，如they were engrossed in conversation他们全神贯注地聊天，如an engrossing story引人入胜的故事）
