单词 | like doing sth(like to do sth) |
释义 | like doing sth : like to do sth —— 575 1. 这两个短语动词的意境色彩稍有不同: like doing sth 表达经常的爱好,相当于 enjoy 的意思(注:美国英语使用 like to do sth 也能表达这个意思); like to do sth 是表达一时的喜爱,相当于 choose to 或 think it right 的意思。如果加用了 would 或 should ,后者的意义便更接近 wish 和 want 的意思了。 例如: The Spartans knew how to fight, and they likedfighting. 斯巴达人懂得如何战斗,也喜爱战斗。(说明他们习性如此) The Spartans knew how to fight, and they liked to fightwhenever occasion required. 斯巴达人懂得如何战斗,而在必要时他们就挺身而出投入到战斗中去。(表达一时的勇气) 比较: Do you like swimming? 你是否爱好游泳?(是问爱好) Would you like to go for a swimming this afternoon? 今天下午你喜不喜欢出去游泳。(是问一时的兴头) I like taking a nap after lunch. 午饭后我喜欢打个盹儿。(似乎已成习惯)。 I like to take a nap this afternoon. 今天下午我想打个盹。(是偶然一次)。 2a. 其次, like doig 所表达的喜爱或爱好是他动的,而 like to do sth 则是主动的。 比较: I like singing. 我爱听唱歌。(是别人唱)。 I like to sing that song. 我爱唱那首歌。(是我自己唱) 2b. 如果用于否定结构,两者就没有主动和他动的区别了。 例如: I don't like asking for money except when I have to. —— P. Procter. 除非万不得已,我不愿向人借钱。 I know she could help, but I don't like to ask her when she'sso busy. —— P. Procter. 我知道她能帮我的忙,但她正在忙着的时候,我不愿惊动她。 比较: We didn't like staking our all. 我们不愿孤注一掷。(用于否定句,与下一句同义) We didn't like to stake our all. 我们不愿孤注一掷。(用于否定句,与上一句同义) |
