He hasnt touched /tasted food for two days.他两天没吃东西了。 The horses were grazing quietly in the field. 马群正在田野里静静地吃草。 3.译作like,love,prefer,enjoy,care for, be fond of等。 Would you like `ice-cream`?你想吃冰淇淋吗? She loves bananas.她爱吃香蕉。 Southerners prefer rice while northerners prefer noodles. 南方人喜欢吃米饭而北方人喜欢吃面条。 He is enjoying his dinner.他正津津有味地吃晚饭。 Tom doesnt care for meat.汤姆不怎么喜欢吃肉。 |
