would like用法 “三部曲”

许振铎

【第一部曲】基本用法

would like意为“想要”,相当于want,但语气比want委婉,多用于口语中。这里的would为情态动词,常与主语缩写为d。would like可用于任何人称,没有人称和数的变化,其后可接名词、代词或动词不定式。但不可接动名词。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. 下午我们想踢足球。

Mother would like me to go home early. 妈妈想让我早点回家。

注意:①would like 后接名词或代词,表示具体要某样东西。②接不定式表示“愿意;喜爱”,常用于有礼貌地提出邀请、请求或建议。试区别:

Id like an egg and some bread. 我想要一个鸡蛋和一些面包。

What kind of salad would you like? 你喜欢哪种色拉?

【第二部曲】相关句型

1. would like的否定句结构是在would后加not(也可缩写为wouldnt)。例如:

She wouldnt like to go to the zoo with you. 她不想跟你去动物园。

2. would like的一般疑问句结构是将would提到句首。例如:

Would you like to help me? 你愿意帮助我吗?

3. What would you like…?意为“你(们)想要(买)什么?”,常用于服务员询问顾客等一些场合。例如:

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

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

【第三部曲】与like的区别

would like与like含义不同,前者意为“想要”,后者意为“喜欢”,前者指暂时性的动作,后者指经常性的心理状态。试区别:

Would you like apples? 你想要苹果吗?

——Do you like apples? 你喜欢吃苹果吗?

——Yes, I do. 是的,我喜欢。
