※ 引述《roxetee (MIC)》之銘言：
: 有一題型如下：
: My mom likes ___ the house clean, so she doesn't
: like us ___ anything in our bedroom.
: (A) to keep;eating
: (B) keeping;eating
: (C) keep;eat
: (D) to keep;to eat
: 正確答案是：D
: 想請問like接to V或Ving 意思皆同，
: 那答案選 B 是不是也可以？謝謝
想說有空，就幫忙解釋一下吧？應該ok吧??
當你說to V或Ving，意思皆同，就表示你沒有感受句意的差別。
這兩種用法其實是不一樣的意思，
我們先來看字典的解釋
http://learnersdictionary.com./definition/LIKE
1. 當解做to enjoy (something) : to get pleasure from (something)
like to V = like Ving
Ex:
I like playing the guitar = I like to play the guitar
那這邊like顯然不是做這個解釋，沒有enjoy 或get pleasure的意思。
其實你把這個like換成want，有沒有發現一件神奇的事情，它居然意思雷同。
My mom likes to keep house clean = My mom wants to keep house clean
所以這個like不是翻成喜歡喔!!!!是翻成想要或傾向做什麼的意思
再來看一下字典怎麼解釋
解做to want or prefer to do something
Ex:
Despite everything, I (would) still like to think that people are basically
good.
所以既然沒有做enjoy或get pleasure，顯然你用ving就會造成句意不對。
最後的答案就是
My mom likes to keep the house clean, so she doesn't
like us to eat anything in our bedroom.
你把like換成want也是通的喔!!!媽媽想要維持乾淨，她不想要我們在房間吃東西。
to 是不可以省略的，不然意思會不一樣，即使文法上是對的。
強烈建議還是要買一本英英的Advanced Learner's dictionary，養成查字典的好習慣。
