dare还可用主动词，随后的不定式可带to,也可不带to 。

例如：He does not dare (to) answer.

近义词辨析
beautiful, good-looking, handsome, lovely, pretty
这组词均含有“美丽”、“漂亮”、“可爱”的意思。

Beautiful指能不仅给人带来感官上的快乐，而且通过感官产生思想和灵魂的愉悦，在同类词中层次最高。

She was even more beautiful than I had remembered.她比我记忆中的她更漂亮了。

good-looking 不如handsome, pretty意思强烈，指一般的“好看”或“悦目”。

That good-looking young man visited the house once or twice a week.那个长相不错的年轻人
一星期光顾一两次。

handsome 通常是一种客观的不带感情色彩的评价。

一个人如被形容为handsome,是指此人外貌符合观察者的要求，但不激发更深层的感受。

He looked very handsome in his dark suit.他穿深色西装显得非常英俊。

lovely比感官的快乐更进一步，是强调纯粹情感上的愉悦，指觉得某人或某物“可爱”。

Mary has two lovely daughters.玛丽有两个可爱的女儿。

pretty也是“漂亮、可爱”的意思。

很少形容大而有影响力的事物，多形容事物不以其优秀、完美而以小巧、优雅、精致见长，使人容易接受并喜爱。

Her boyfriend believes that she is the prettiest girl in the town.她男朋友觉得她是镇上最漂亮的女孩。
