Would you like...?與 Do you like...?

有這樣一道題，該選哪一個呢？

—__________ you like some coffee?

—Yes, please.

A. Do                   B. Will                  C. Would             D. Can

分析：此題應選C。容易誤選A。請注意以下兩個口語句式的用法及區別。如：

1. Do you like...? 你喜歡……嗎?

該句式主要用來詢某人一般性愛好。如。如：

—Do you like English? 你喜歡英語嗎?

—Yes, very much. 是的，很喜歡。

—Do you like summer? 你喜歡夏天嗎?

—Not really. 不很喜歡。

2. Would you like...? 你想要……嗎?

該句式主要用于詢問某人特定情況下的想法，往往有邀請或請客之意。如。如：

—Would you like a cup of tea? 來杯茶好嗎?

—Yes, please. 好的。

—Would you like to come with us? 你愿和我們一起去嗎?

—Yes, I’d like to. 好的，我很愿意去。

3. 在弄清以上區別之后，以下誤句的錯因就顯然易見了。如：

誤：Would you like maths?

誤：Would you like the girl?

誤：Would you like the life here?

誤：Do you like some fruit?

誤：Do you like a cigarette?                                          

(改正辦法：將各句的Would改為Do, 或將Do改為Would)
