词汇解析：
like 基本词汇
英 [laɪk] 美 [laɪk]
prep. 像
conj. 如同
adv. 大概；和 ... 一样
adj. 相似的；同样的
v. 喜欢；想；愿意
n. 类似的人或物
At a distance he looks a bit like James Bond.
从远处看，他有点像詹姆斯·邦德
like a word with sb 想和某人说句话
like it or not 不管你喜不喜欢
词汇的用法
like用作名词时,其意思是“相类似的人或事物”,指两个或两个以上在外貌或性质上相近的人或事物。like还可指“喜爱的东西”。like可用复数形式,也可用单数形式。
动词like在单用时指经常的爱好，不指一时的爱好，如可以说I like it ，不可说I like it today。不过don't like 和didn't like往往指一时的“不肯”或“不愿”；
like与would连用组成Would you like...的句型时，后面只可加不定式，不可加动名词。
