两个短语都有“不敢去做某事”的意思,但be afraid to do sth.真正的意思是“害怕做某事”,也就是主语对做某事内心感到恐惧;be afraid of doing sth.表示主语内心里不情愿做某事,也可以说是不希望发生某事,但自己不一定能避免它.例如:

He came late to school and was afraid of being scolded by the teacher.(他上学迟到了,害怕被老师吵.暗含的意思是“他不情愿被老师吵”.)

"be afraid to do"和"be afraid of doing"的区别是含义不同、侧重点不同、应用场合不同。
1、含义不同:be afraid to do sth.真正的意思是“害怕做某事”,也就是主语对做某事内心感到恐惧;be afraid of doing sth.表示主语内心里不情愿做某事,也可以说是不希望发生某事,但自己不一定能避免它。

他害怕晚上独自外出.暗含的意思是“他对于晚上独自外出缺乏安全感”。
He came late to school and was afraid of being scolded by the teacher.
他上学迟到了,害怕被老师吵.暗含的意思是“他不情愿被老师吵”。
2、侧重点不同:be afraid to侧重于“不敢“,be afraid of侧重于”不情愿“。
例句:
He is afraid of being beaten by his father.他怕被他爸打。(不是他敢不敢,他是不情愿。)
He is afraid to touch the snake.他不敢碰那条蛇。(他内心里恐惧蛇。)
3、应用场合不同:be afraid to do ”指的是按照经验或常识不敢做某事,或没有勇气做某事;“be afraid of doing ”主要用来谈论一件自己(指句子主语)不希望,也不能决定,而可能突然发生在自己身上的事。这种事往往带有一种疑惧性,即可能发生也可能不发生。

1、be afraid of doing sth意思是“害怕某事会发生”,重点在“怕”;
be afraid to do sth意思是“(因为害怕而)不敢做某事”,重点在“不敢”.
2、如:The little boy is afraid to return home because he is afraid being beaten by his father.
这个小男孩因为害怕会被他老爸打,所以不敢回家.
如果写成:The little boy is afraid of returning home because he is afraid to be beaten by his father.就很搞笑了:
这个小男孩因为不敢被他老爸打,所以害怕会回家.
3、另外,还有be afraid of sb/sth的用法“害怕某人/物”,但是后者只有be afraid to do sth“不敢做某事”.
这区别我知道些。纠正下题主“ be afraid doing”应该为“ be afraid of doing”。给大家总结了一个表格可以先粗略看一下:
【词组含义】
be afraid to do & be afraid of doing都可以表示“害怕”、“不敢”,前者着重“因害怕而不敢做某事”,后者表示“担心某事可能发生”
be afraid to do sth.真正的意思是“因害怕而不敢做某事”,也就是主语对做某事内心感到恐惧;
be afraid of doing sth.表示主语“担心某事可能发生”,也可以说是不希望发生某事,但自己不一定能避免它。
