“liking”是动词“like”的名词形式,表示对某人或某事物的喜爱或偏好,强调主观情感倾向。其核心含义可拆解为以下层面:
基础定义
“liking”指个体对特定对象产生的积极情感反应,常见于表达非强烈但持续的好感。牛津英语词典将其定义为“the feeling that you like someone or something”,例如“She has a liking for classical music”(她对古典音乐有偏好)。
语法特征
该词常与介词“for”搭配构成短语“a liking for”,表示具体指向的喜好对象。剑桥词典指出,这种用法在16世纪后期逐渐固定,体现英语介词结构的演变规律。
语用差异
与近义词“love”或“passion”不同,“liking”通常不包含强烈的情感浓度。韦氏词典强调其多用于描述“温欣赏”,如“He developed a liking for gardening after retirement”(退休后他培养了对园艺的喜爱)。
词源考证
该词源于古英语“lician”,原意为“取悦或适合”,词根与日耳曼语系中表示“身体”的词汇同源,暗示早期英语文化中将“喜好”与生理舒适度相关联的认知逻辑。
文学实例
莎士比亚在《皆大欢喜》中曾使用“liking”构建双关语义:“Your liking is an appetite that grows by what it feeds on”(你的喜好如同愈食愈饥的欲望),展现早期现代英语对该词的灵活运用。
