【第一部曲】基本用法

would like意為“想要”,相當(dāng)于want,但語氣比want委婉,多用于口語中。這里的would為情態(tài)動(dòng)詞,常與主語縮寫為d。would like可用于任何人稱,沒有人稱和數(shù)的變化,其后可接名詞、代詞或動(dòng)詞不定式。但不可接動(dòng)名詞。例如:

Id like(=I would like) oranges and bananas. 我想吃桔子和香蕉。

Wed like to play football this afternoon. 下午我們想踢足球。

Mother would like me to go home early. 媽媽想讓我早點(diǎn)回家。

注意:①would like 后接名詞或代詞,表示具體要某樣?xùn)|西。②接不定式表示“愿意;喜愛”,常用于有禮貌地提出邀請(qǐng)、請(qǐng)求或建議。試區(qū)別:

Id like an egg and some bread. 我想要一個(gè)雞蛋和一些面包。

What kind of salad would you like? 你喜歡哪種色拉?

【第二部曲】相關(guān)句型

1. would like的否定句結(jié)構(gòu)是在would后加not(也可縮寫為wouldnt)。例如:

She wouldnt like to go to the zoo with you. 她不想跟你去動(dòng)物園。

2. would like的一般疑問句結(jié)構(gòu)是將would提到句首。例如:

Would you like to help me? 你愿意幫助我嗎?

3. What would you like…?意為“你(們)想要(買)什么?”,常用于服務(wù)員詢問顧客等一些場(chǎng)合。例如:

——What size bowl of noodles would you like? 你想要多大碗的面條?

——Id like a small bowl of noodles. 我想要小碗面條。

【第三部曲】與like的區(qū)別

would like與like含義不同,前者意為“想要”,后者意為“喜歡”,前者指暫時(shí)性的動(dòng)作,后者指經(jīng)常性的心理狀態(tài)。試區(qū)別:

Would you like apples? 你想要蘋果嗎?

——Do you like apples? 你喜歡吃蘋果嗎?

——Yes, I do. 是的,我喜歡。
