长释义：
Apprehensive is from a Latin word meaning "to seize," and it originally meant "quick to seize impressions or ideas, perceptive, intelligent." Now it means "anticipating something bad, fearful of what may happen." Synonyms are afraid, which suggest a more immediate fear, and fearful, which suggests a more general temperament ("a fearful child"). You can be apprehensive about a situation while being an optimistic and courageous person in general.
Apprehensive 来自拉丁语，意思是“抓住”，原意是“迅速抓住印象或想法，有洞察力，有智慧”。现在它的意思是“预料到不好的事情，害怕可能发生的事情”。同义词 afraid 表示更直接的恐惧，fearful 表示更普遍的气质（“一个害怕的孩子”）。作为一个乐观和勇敢的人，您可能会对某种情况感到担忧。
文学例句：
