第 106 課 · 第 9 階段: 連線觀點
Like 與 as
中級Like vs as
構成與用法
like = 像……，as = 作為……：she works as a nurse; she sings like a bird
1.形式
Like 和 as 很容易混淆，但它們意思不同，後面接的詞也不同。關鍵問題是：這個人或東西只是像，還是真的具有那個身份？
| 後面接 | 意思 | 例句 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| like | 名詞 / 代詞 / -ing | 像……（但其實不是） | She sings like a bird. |
| as | 名詞 | 作為……（真實身份） | She works as a nurse. |
| as | 從句（主語 + 動詞） | 按照……的方式 | Do it as I showed you. |
| like | 從句——非正式口語 | 按照……的方式 | Do it like I showed you. |
快速測試：問自己“是真的嗎？”She works as a nurse——她就是護士。She looks like a nurse——她看起來像護士，但可能並不是。
2.Like = 像
1. Like + 名詞 / 代詞：像……，和……一樣
Your bag is just like mine.
你的包和我的一模一樣。
My little brother eats like a horse.
我弟弟飯量大得像匹馬。（習語 = 吃得很多）
Speaking English is like riding a bike — the more you practise, the easier it gets.
說英語就像騎腳踏車——練得越多就越容易。（like + -ing）
2. look / sound / feel / taste / smell + like + 名詞
Minh looks like his mum — same eyes, same smile.
阿明長得像他媽媽——一樣的眼睛，一樣的笑容。
That sounds like a great plan.
聽起來是個好計劃。
This tea tastes like jasmine.
這茶喝起來有茉莉花的味道。
3. 請別人描述：What is … like? / What does … look like?
What's your new boss like? — She's friendly but very strict.
你的新老闆怎麼樣？——她很友好，但非常嚴格。
What does your brother look like? — Tall, with short hair.
你哥哥長什麼樣？——高個子，短頭髮。
4. Like = 比如（接近 such as）
I love tropical fruit, like mango and papaya.
我很喜歡熱帶水果，比如芒果和木瓜。
Big cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are very crowded.
像河內和胡志明市這樣的大城市都非常擁擠。
3.As = 作為
As + 名詞 表示某人或某物真的具有那個職業、身份或用途。常見搭配有 work as、use … as、be known as、see / describe … as，以及 as a child（= 我小時候）。
Lan works as a tour guide in Hoi An.
阿蘭在會安當導遊。
As your friend, I have to tell you the truth.
作為你的朋友，我必須跟你說實話。
We used an old box as a table.
我們把一箇舊箱子當桌子用。
As a child, I was afraid of the dark.
小時候，我怕黑。
比較下面幾組——名詞相同，意思大不一樣：
My uncle works as a driver.
我叔叔是司機。（他就是司機）
My uncle drives like a racing driver.
我叔叔開車像賽車手一樣。（他不是賽車手）
As a teacher, I mark a lot of homework.
作為老師，我要批改很多作業。（我是老師）
She explained it slowly, like a teacher.
她講得很慢，像個老師一樣。（她不是老師）
4.As + 從句，like + 從句
As（連詞）+ 從句 = “按照……的方式”。很多固定說法都用 as：
- as you know、as I said、as you can see
- as usual / as always、as expected、as we agreed
- the same as、such as
As you know, the meeting has moved to Thursday.
如你所知，會議改到星期四了。
As usual, Nam forgot his keys.
阿南又像往常一樣忘帶鑰匙了。
Cook the rice as the packet says.
按包裝上說的方法煮飯。
在非正式口語中（尤其是美式英語），母語者經常用 like + 從句 代替 as，用 like 代替 as if（見“as if / as though”一課）。正式書面語中要用 as / as if。
Nobody makes pho like my grandma does.
沒人做河粉比得上我奶奶。（非正式；正式說法：as my grandma does）
Like I said, I can't come on Sunday.
我說過了，星期天我來不了。（非正式；正式說法：As I said）
It looks like it's going to rain.
看樣子要下雨了。（非正式 = It looks as if…）
很多語言用同一個詞表達這兩種意思，所以學習者想說職業時常常說成 She works like a nurse。這句話的實際意思是“她工作起來像個護士”。表示真實的職業或身份 → 用 as：She works as a nurse。
5.常見錯誤
He works like a chef in a hotel.He works as a chef in a hotel.
他真的是廚師 → 用 as。
Like a student, I get a discount at the cinema.As a student, I get a discount at the cinema.
我真的是學生 → 用 as。
Your shirt looks as mine.Your shirt looks like mine.
Look + 名詞/代詞 → 用 like。
My phone is the same like yours.My phone is the same as yours.
固定搭配：the same as。
Like usual, the bus was late.As usual, the bus was late.
標準英語說 as usual。
How is your new teacher like?What is your new teacher like?
請別人描述：What … like?（不用 How）。
例句
- My sister works as a nurse at Bach Mai Hospital.
- Your cat sleeps all day, just like mine.
- Tuan looks like his father.
- As usual, Minh was the last to arrive.
