dislike、hate、hatred

Hello, I'm spencer.

I am here to teach you new phrases and idioms to express your feelings.

Today I will introduce different ways to say that you really dislike or hate something.

Let's get started.

This video will help you sound more like a native speaker.

The most common way to say you hate or dislike something is to use the verbs dislike and hate.

For example:

I hate hot summer days or I dislike sweet food.

You can also use hate with a verb, an action, by adding 'to' before the verb or 'ing' to the verb stem.

你也可以使用 "hate" ，帶有靜態動詞(verb)和藉由在 "verb" 之前加 "to" 或加 "ing" 在動詞詞幹中的動態動詞(action)。

You can also use "hate" with another verb that expresses a state action by adding "to" in front of the state verb or "ing" in the verb stem.


您也可以運用 "hate"，

與另一個表示狀態動作的動詞一起使用，

藉由在狀態動詞前面加上"to"，或在動詞詞幹裡加上"ing"。

你也可以在狀態動詞前面加上「to」或在動詞字幹中加上「ing」來將 "hate" 與另一個表達狀態行為的動詞一起使用。

For instance:

I hate waking up early and I hate to say goodbye.

With dislike you can also use it with a verb but it's important to note you cannot use 'the infinite to' with the verb.

You can only add 'ing' to the verb stem.

For example:

I dislike listening to loud music and I dislike going to high places.


Firstly:

Instead of using dislike you can use 'not a fan of' or 'not big on' .

取代 "dislike"，你可以使用 "not a fan of" 或 "not big on"。

你可以使用 "not a fan of" 或 "not big on" 來取代 "dislike"。

This means you don't really like something or someone.

這表示你不喜歡某件事或某人。這意味著你並不真正喜歡某事或某人。

You can also use it with a verb but only by adding 'ing' to the verb stem.

你也可以與動詞搭配使用，但只能在動詞詞幹上加上 "ing"。

For instance:

I'm not a fan of fruit pie or He's not big on sharing his feelings.

我不喜歡水果派，或是他不喜歡分享他的感受。


From dislike to hate to disgust.

從不喜歡到討厭再到反感(噁心)。

Secondly:

Instead of using hate you can use 'disgust' or 'disgusted by'.

This means you completely hate something.

Both can be used with a verb but you must add 'ing' to the verb stem.

'Disgusted by' is used when the subject of the sentence is a person.

For instance:

He is disgusted by cold noodles or I am disgusted by loud chewing.

'Disgust' is used when the subject of the sentence is the person or object that someone hates.

For example:

She disgusts me.


Thirdly :

You can say something or someone makes a person sick.

This means you hate something so much you feel sick.

The subject of the sentence is the person or object that someone hates.

For instance:

That video makes her sick or you make me sick.

It can also be used with a verb but you must add 'ing' to the verb stem.

For instance:

Lying makes me sick.
