Included below are examples of the many uses of like.

　　如果你曾学过英语，你可能知道Like这个词的意思，但如果你没有在美国居住过，你可能对它的一些非正式用法不大熟悉。即使你在某些非正式场合使用like有点犹豫，它们在日常对话中已经变的非常普遍，如果你没有学习这些用法，那么在学术或者职业生活之外，你会发现理解那些母语是英语的人说话会有困难。以下是like的各种用法的例子。

　　Emotional expression

　　情感表达

　　Like, when used to indicate what someone was saying or thinking, is very useful for conversations where the speaker is expressing strong attitudes. Body language, facial expressions or non-verbal vocalizations that convey emotion can completely replace the words after the “be + like”construction to indicate how the speaker felt.

　　当用于表示一个人所说或者所想时，like在对话中是十分有用的，特别是说话者要表达一种强硬的态度。肢体语言、面部表情或者非言语发声来传递感情的都可以全部由be + like 这个结构来表示说话者的感觉。

　　When to use informal like

　　何时使用非正式的like

　　Be aware that because of the extreme informality, these uses of like are often viewed negatively or are thought to be grammatically incorrect. Their acceptability varies with the age of the speaker and the context.

　　要明白因为极度的非正式性，like的使用常常被认为是消极的或者语法上是错误的。他们的适用性随着说话者的年龄段或上下文的变化而改变。

　　It may feel and sound awkward to use like in informal conversation until you have studied English for a while, and have spent a good amount of time talking with native speakers. A good rule to follow is that if you have to make a conscious effort to put a word or expression into a sentence, don’t use it. When you have enough exposure to informal English that you use it without thinking, you will sound more like English is your first language.

　　除非你学了好一阵子英语，并花大量时间跟那些母语是英语的人交谈，不然在一个非正式场合用like可能让你觉得或者听起来很别扭。有一个很好的办法来判断，如果你再花心思想是否要将某个字或者词放进一个句子中，那么就不要用它了。当你接触了足够多的通俗英语，在使用它们时完全不需思考，那么你说起英语时就更像在说母语。
