(单词翻译)

in favour of,in favour with

这一对片语也不是同义语。

In favour of的意思有三个:“赞成”、“有利于”和“让位”。例:

Are you in favour of this new project?

你是否赞成这个新计划?

The court ruled in favour of the defendant1.(也可写在in the defendant's favour)

法庭的裁决对被告有利/判被告胜诉。

The Prime Minister resigned in favour of a better candidate.

首相辞职以让位给更合适的人选。

In favour with的意思是“受到…宠爱”或“得到…好评(或重视)”。例:

The Chief Executive is now in favour with the people.

现在行政首长受到市民的爱戴。

Our plan is not in favour with the authority.

兰局并不重视我们的方案。

这里的相反词为 out of favour。例:The sycophant2 is out of favour with his boss.

由上列数例可看出,in favour of是表示主动的涵义,即赞成某事或支持某人,对什么有利或让位给谁;in favour with则表示被动的涵义,即受到或得到某人的好评或重视。
