他为有可能把钱全弄丢而焦虑不安。

　　误：He was anxious for the possibility of losing all his money.

　　正：He was anxious about the possibility of losing all his money.

　　析：be anxious about / for都可表示“为……而忧愁 / 着急”，通常情况下，be anxious about后接“事”；而be anxious for后接“人”。再如：We have been anxious for you. 我们一直为你们着急。

他假装没有听说过这件事。

　　误：He pretended not hearing about it.

　　正：He pretended not to hear about it.

　　析：pretend意为“假装”，既可作及物动词，也可作不及物动词。作及物动词时，后面常接名词、不定式或从句作宾语。
