Day 5 favor

释义：①v. feel or show approval or preference for = support/prefer

例句：

1-Mobile payment has been increasingly favored by beggars.

2-If he(interviewee) carefully weighed two sides of an issue and you only quote his views of one side, making him seem to favor that position, you will misrepresent what he told you.

经典句型：X has been increasingly favored by Y

练习：

1-翻译： （很多中国大学生毕业后都会选择留在北上广这样的大城市。→Many students graduating from college favor staying in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou.（参考翻译)Many graduates in China favor big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.）

反思：

①对graduate作名词的含义拿不准。graduate作名词可以表示大学毕业生。undergraduate可以表示“未毕业的，在读的大学生”。

②查了favor的用法，看一般后面都是跟名词，没看到动词，就用了动名词的形式。看了例句才发现自己还是犯了逐字翻译的毛病，中文中的“留”这个字不用非要翻译成对应的英文。

2-造句

场景：学习英语的过程中，学生更偏向于使用汉英词典而不是英英词典，这导致他们很多时候无法区别两个近义词。Most students favor Chinese-English dictionary, which makes it's hard for them to tell the difference between synonyms. 

场景：越来越多的学生青睐网络学习。Online learning has been increasingly favored by students.
