Keen is not used much in American English, except in the phrase keen interest; instead it is more usual to say eager to help or avid sportsman/collector/photographer, etc. 表示熱衷於某種活動的人可用keen加名詞的結構：a keen collector/fisherman/footballer/gardener/golfer/photographer/sailor/sportsman/swimmer/traveller（熱衷於收藏／垂釣／足球／園藝／高爾夫球運動／攝影／航海／運動／遊泳／旅遊的人）。對某種想法表現出熱心可以說have a keen interest in sth（對⋯非常感興趣）或be a keen supporter of sth（對⋯全力支持）。keen在美式英語中不常用，僅用於短語keen interest中。表達“熱衷於⋯”時通常說eager to help（樂於幫忙）或avid sportsman/collector/photographer（熱衷於運動／收藏／攝影的人）等。   see also be keen on sth ⇨ like verb ■ anxious [not usually before noun] wanting sth very much 渴望；非常希望◆He was anxious to finish school and get a job.他渴望畢業並找一份工作。◆I'm anxious for her to do as little as possible.我盼她盡量少幹。◆She was anxious that he should meet her father.她盼望他見見她的父親。ⓘ Anxious, in this meaning, is often used when sb wants things to return to a normal condition. * anxious表達此義時常指很想回歸常態◆He seemed anxious to return to more familiar ground.他似乎渴望回到他較熟悉的領域。◆She was anxious to put the past behind her / set the record straight / get the whole thing over with.她希望能夠把過去抛到腦後／澄清真相／把整件事情作個了斷。 ▸ anxiety
