词组 dislike
释义 dislike
 1. Noun. Partridge 1942 says dislike to is incorrect and should be dislike of. We disagree. Dislike can take the prepositions of for, and to; to is the least common. A few examples:
      ... his dislike of Robbe-Grillet is bizarre —Times Literary Supp., 19 June 1969
      ... a wholesome dislike of sophistry and rhetoric — W. R. Inge, The Church in the World, 1928
      Dislike of America ran much deeper —Time, 13 Jan. 1947
      ... contempt and dislike for human beings —Angus Wilson, The Middle Age of Mrs. Eliot, 1958
      The coyote, which has an atavistic dislike for water —National Geographic, October 1939
      Burger's dislike for television cameras —Cynthia Mills, UPI Reporter, 21 June 1979
      My dislike for the tidies of the world is particularly strong this week —And More by Andy Rooney, 1982
      I have always had a dislike to managers losing money over me —W. Somerset Maugham, The Summing Up, 1938
      ... a man who takes an unreasonable dislike to another— 77me, 26 May 1952
      The flour took a cordial dislike to the eggs and humped itself up —Boy's Life, May 1952
      It would appear that take a dislike tends to select to as its preposition.
 2. Verb. Besides a noun object, the verb dislike can take a participial phrase or an infinitive phrase, according to Evans 1959. Longman 1984 says that the infinitive complement is not possible in British English; our evidence is not extensive enough to confirm but certainly does not refute. It is possible in American English, though not common and especially rare in edited prose. The -ing construction is more common. An example of each:
      ... reports that Miss West disliked working with Fields —Current Biography, November 1967
      I dislike to bother you with "trivia" —letter received at Merriam-Webster from Forest Park, Illinois, 26 Jan.1983
