常言道:“蘿卜青菜,各有所愛”。在與人用英語交流的時(shí)候,你知道怎樣準(zhǔn)確地表達(dá)“偏愛和優(yōu)先選擇”嗎?
表達(dá)一:like/love
like/love表示“喜歡(某人、某物或做某事)”,在句尾常用a little、very much、a lot等來表示程度;表達(dá)“不喜歡”時(shí),用“I don’tlike...”或“I dislike...”句型。 如果在句尾加上at all,則表示“一點(diǎn)也不喜歡……”。例如:
He likes/loves it very much.他非常喜歡它。
She doesn’t like/dislikes dessert at all.她一點(diǎn)也不喜歡甜食。
詢問某人比較喜歡什么,用“Which do you like better,...or...?”句式來表達(dá)。例如:
Which do you like better,orangeor lemon?橙子和檸檬,你更喜歡哪一種?
表達(dá)二:enjoy
enjoy是及物動詞,意為“喜愛;欣賞”。后接名詞、代詞或動名詞。例如:
Do you enjoy the film?你喜歡這部電影嗎?
I enjoy working with you very much.我很喜歡和你一起工作。
表達(dá)三:favorite
favorite作形容詞時(shí),意為“最喜愛的”,含最高級的意思,可與like...best互換,但不能與most連用。例如:
My favorite subject is math.我最喜歡的科目是數(shù)學(xué)。
What’s your favorite sport?你最喜 歡 什么運(yùn)動?
表達(dá)四:would like
would like意為“想要”,與want意思相近,用來婉轉(zhuǎn)地表達(dá)個(gè)人的偏愛。例如:
I would like(to drink)some m ilk.我想喝點(diǎn)兒牛奶。
表達(dá)五:would rather
would rather意為“寧愿;更喜歡”,表示優(yōu)先選擇,其否定形式為“would rather not do sth.”。 例如:
He would rather work in a small company.他寧愿在一家小公司工作。
Wang Li would rather not listen to rock music.王莉不愿意聽搖滾音樂。
would rather...than...句式,意為“寧愿……也不愿……”,表示主觀意愿。此時(shí),要注意“平行結(jié)構(gòu)”。例如:
She’drather playfootball thanplay chess.她寧愿去踢足球也不愿下棋。
表達(dá)六:prefer
prefer意為“寧可;情愿”,后接動名詞、動詞不定式或that從句,表示“喜歡做……”。如果表示“喜歡……而不喜歡……”, 用prefer...to...。例如:
I prefer him to do it in a different way.我更希望他用不同的方法去做。
I prefer this to that.我喜歡這個(gè),而不喜歡那個(gè)。
