牛津實用英語語法:294 care和like
care主要用于否定式與疑問式中。
A care for+ 名詞/動名詞與 like+ 名詞/ 動名詞的含義非常接近。
可以說：
(a) Does/Did Tom care for living in the country?/Does/Did Tom likeliving in the country?
湯姆愿意住在鄉下嗎?
(b)You dont care for science fiction，do you?/You dont like sciencefiction，do you?
你不喜歡科學幻想小說，是嗎?
對上面(b)的回答可以是：
I dont care for it./I dont like it much./Oh yes， I like it.
我不喜歡它。/我不太喜歡它。/噢!不，我喜歡它。(最后一個回答中不能用care。)
care在疑問式中有時暗示一絲懷疑或猶豫：
Does Ann care for horror movies?
安喜歡看恐怖影片嗎?(說話人認為她大概不喜歡，或說話人因為她竟好像喜歡看恐怖電影而感到驚訝。)
如用 would you care(for)?時，懷疑或猶豫的色彩表現得更明顯。
B would care和 would like
would care for+ 名詞或would care+ 不定式與would like+ 名詞/不定式相似。但是 would care(for)通常不用于肯定的陳述句。用would you care(for)?表示的建議不如用would you like?表示的建議那樣自信。
(a)Tom：Would you care for a lift，Ann?
湯姆：安，你愿意搭我的車嗎?(可能湯姆的車子不太舒服，而她又喜歡舒服。)
(b)Tom：Would you care to see my photos，Ann?
湯姆：安，你想看看我的照片嗎?(他不敢肯定她是否愿意看。)
對(b)最好的回答方式是：
Id like to see them very much.
我很愿意看。
同在肯定句中一樣，這里用would like代替 would care。
在否定句中，用法也是相同的：
I wouldnt care to live on the 35th floor.
Oh，Id rather like it.
我不在乎住在35層樓上。
噢，我挺愿意的。
would care for/would like有時可與動名詞連用。
C would have cared(for)和 would have liked
二者在此都指并未發生的動作：
Ann：Id have liked to go with Tom.
安：我本倒愿意和湯姆一起走。我想和湯姆一起走，可沒能如愿以償。
Bill：But he walked all the way! You wouldnt have cared for/have likedthat，would you?/Would you have cared for/have liked that?
比爾：但他是一直走了去的!你總不愿意那樣做吧?
D 請不要將care的上述用法與care for和care(about)混淆：
1 care for(=look after照顧)主要用于被動語態：
The old people were cared for by their families.
老年人受家庭照顧。
2 care(about)(=feel concerned關注，在乎)主要用于否定式與疑問式。
I dont care(about)與 I dont mind意思相似。因此常可用Idont mind代替 I dont care：
It will be very expensive.
I dont care/mind./I dont care about/mind the expense./I don tcare/mind what it costs.
這會很貴的。
我不在乎。/我不乎花多少錢。/我不在乎要花多少錢。
但請注意 I dont care(about)意指I am indifferent(to)(我滿不在乎，漠不關心)而I dont mind意指 I dont object(to)(我不反對)，如 He/It dosent worry/upset/annoy me(他/這不使我發愁/心緒煩亂/煩惱)。
I dont mind 遠遠比 I dont care更有禮貌，而且 I dont care
常常令人聽起來感到妄自尊大和自私。在否定疑問式中兩者都可以使用：
Dont you care/mind what happens to him?
你難道不關心他出什么事嗎?
Didnt you care/mind what happened?
當時出什么事你竟然不關心嗎?
但在一般疑問句中這兩者有較大的區別：
Do you care?相當于：
Are you concerned?/Do you feel concern?
你關心嗎?/你在乎嗎?
而Do you mind?常常是Do you object?(你反對嗎?)的意思。
care主要用于否定式與疑問式中。
A care for+ 名詞/動名詞與 like+ 名詞/ 動名詞的含義非常接近。
可以說：
(a) Does/Did Tom care for living in the country?/Does/Did Tom likeliving in the country?
湯姆愿意住在鄉下嗎?
(b)You dont care for science fiction，do you?/You dont like sciencefiction，do you?
你不喜歡科學幻想小說，是嗎?
對上面(b)的回答可以是：
I dont care for it./I dont like it much./Oh yes， I like it.
我不喜歡它。/我不太喜歡它。/噢!不，我喜歡它。(最后一個回答中不能用care。)
