英文中,like 的意思和用法很多。如果它在句子中間以介詞(preposition)形式出現,通常用來舉例或者表達「相似」之意。
例句(一):1455Please respect copyright.PENANAZKmTdFWwN4
This does not taste anything like chicken soup.1455Please respect copyright.PENANApxoppcgjzW
(這味道一點都不像雞湯。)
例句(二):1455Please respect copyright.PENANAYzqTQajjru
My younger brother looks like me.1455Please respect copyright.PENANAuyFnUE2k3c
(我弟弟看起來很像我。)
例句(三):1455Please respect copyright.PENANA8cSgWxcT3w
I cannot allow him to be reckless like this.1455Please respect copyright.PENANArVE9iOlvj4
(我不能容許他如此鲁莽。)1455Please respect copyright.PENANAVET3I4cEVG
另外,如果 like 出現在句子前面,那就可以理解為「正如」或者「就像」的意思。1455Please respect copyright.PENANAMgSqQXuqPO
例句(四):1455Please respect copyright.PENANAg530F4PIcc
Like her father, my cousin is very clever.1455Please respect copyright.PENANAPn3sxB6MBK
(正如她父親一樣,我的表妹非常聰明。)
例句(四)反過來說,也可以:1455Please respect copyright.PENANAtdlNqrxfBU
My cousin is very clever, just like her father. 1455Please respect copyright.PENANAS1vnSI9JDj
(我表妹很聰明,就跟她父親一樣。)
另一種 like 的用法,是表達「大概」和「估算」之意。
例句(五):1455Please respect copyright.PENANAKct0k266gO
This cave is like twenty feet deep.1455Please respect copyright.PENANANPa9a1zbMO
(這個洞穴應該有二十英尺深。)
這裡的二十英尺只是目測,暗示跟實測數字可能有一段距離。1455Please respect copyright.PENANAU7twTjoNay
在口語上,我們常常聽到有人用 It's like... 作為某句說話的開頭或者連接語,通常是敘述某件事情或表達個人意見和感受時會用到。1455Please respect copyright.PENANAuQ2AqnaNpU
例句(六):1455Please respect copyright.PENANAuoZwjEt4f9
That day... it was like, the worst day of my life. My dog died.1455Please respect copyright.PENANADaMaSvXzyn
(那天,就彷彿,是我人生中最糟糕的一天。因為我的狗死了。)1455Please respect copyright.PENANAodhHAdvXFi
這裡的 it was like 其實沒有什麼實質的意思,甚至可以省略掉,寫成:1455Please respect copyright.PENANAukmK4zpVq0
The day my dog died was the worst day of my life.1455Please respect copyright.PENANAapJclFJte1
(我的狗死的那天是我人生中最糟糕的一天。)
但很明顯,說這句話的人,當時正在思考想表達的意思,所以就在中間加入 it was like 作為「連接詞」。1455Please respect copyright.PENANASLuU4uDfwu
雖然口語上這樣說沒問題,不過寫作的話,感覺太陳腔濫調,所以還是少用為妙。
