看新闻有个黑人说她I was scary，感觉是错的

Littlebush

刚才看电视新闻说有个黑人报警说她看到一个男的似乎人事不省的behind  the wheel，说她似乎看到个死人的脸，接着说I was scary，感觉这个scary只能形容something，应该是I was scared？

应该说：I'm scared. 如果说：I'm scary，是不是说，我的样子很吓人，把别人吓到了。

SOED和MWCD里倒是也有“frightened”这一解释

感觉不能用来形容人

Wiktionary 第二个义项解释的很好，其他几部大型英汉词典也有提到惊恐害怕之意，似乎该义是口语用法，不那么常用：
