问

（A）I feel like a cup of tea.

(B) I'm holding something that feels like a potato.

上面两句中的 feel like 在词性和语义上是否相同？

答

句(A)中的 feel like( = want)，可以看作是如同 look at 一样的及物介词动词(参见 look

at):

I don't feel like a big meal now. (ALD) 我现在不想吃大餐。
Do you feel like a swim? (LDCE) 你想游泳吗?

而在句(B)中,feel 是个不及物的感觉动词,可以用感觉者去做主语(好像是),也可以用感觉对象做主语(像是,摸起来像是):

He feels like a fool. 他好像是个大傻瓜。
It feels like a stone. 这件东西摸起来像一块石头。
It feels like rain. 好像是要下雨了。

问

动词like之后可跟动名词或带to的动词不定式。feel like是否也是如此？

答

feel like 的词义与动词 like 的词义是不同的。前者的意思是:想(要某物),想(做某事)(want)。后者的意思是:“喜欢”(尤指经常性、习惯性地喜欢)。当 feel like 作“想要某物”解时,其后可跟名词或代词;当 feel like 作“想做某事”解时,其后只能跟动名词,而不能跟动词不定式:

I feel like going to bed. I'm tired. (Priestley) 我想睡觉。我累了。
I don't feel like beer tonight. (LDCE) 今天晚上我不想喝啤酒。
I was so angry that I felt like throwing something at him. (PEG) 我气得想往他身上扔东西。
