The story of elephants being frightened of mice probably came about because elephants are frightened of sudden, unexpected noises or movements.

✔ 最佳答案
"fright about" 這個你建議的用法, 我在好幾本字典都找不到, 相信是沒有這種寫法的。但我找到另外兩則的新聞, 佢地的寫法可能對你改寫句子有參考的價值。
http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2007/oct/08/animalbehaviour.worldnews

Elephants never forget their fright of the humble bee. ...
But despite their thick skin and size advantage, elephants turn tail and flee at the sound of a swarm of bees, according to research carried out on the Kenyan savannah.

大象雖然身型龐大和皮膚又粗又厚, 但硏究顯示, 牠們一聽到蜜蜂的叫聲, 就怕得要慌忙地逃走。 牠們永遠都忘不了對蜜蜂的恐懼。

當應用以上的例法, 你的句子就可以改寫成:

The story of elephants having the fright of mice came about because elephants are frightened of sudden, unexpected noises or movements.

.................................................................................................................

另一則新聞並不是有關大象, 而是有關一個音樂人如何克服對舞台的恐懼。

"I sang a lot with others because I had stage fright. A good friend played guitar in a rock band and I learned the instrument by hanging around him. ... I have definitely improved over time. I can perform more easily now because I am over my stage fright.
當應用以上例子, 你的句子就可以改寫為:
The story of elephants having mice fright came about because elephants are frightened of sudden, unexpected noises or movements.

The preposition after frighten is "of" not "about"
Same as I am afraid of spiders.

2008-09-16 03:36:19 補充:
I am scared OF ghosts.

Prepositions RULE

No. Its gramatically wrong.

You must use a past participle after "being". That means you must use anything that ends with "-ed" or in a past participle form for some special cases (eg: eat, ate, "eaten" <-- past participle form).
