Infinitive or — ing? like, would like etc

Like, hate, enjoy, can’t bear, dislike, love, mind, can’t stand. За этими глаголами и выражениями часто следует — ingовая форма:

— I enjoy being alone.

— Ann hates flying.

— Why do you dislike living here?

— Tom doesn’t mind working at night.

После love и can’t bear можно использовать — ing или to + инфинитив:

— I love meeting people. или I love to meet people.

— She can’t bear being alone. или She can’t bear to be alone.

Like

Часто неважно, говорите вы `I like doing’ или `I like to do’. Например, можно сказать:

— I like getting up early. или I like to get up early.

Обычно говорят `I like doing’, когда

`like’ подразумевает `enjoy’:

— Do you like cooking?

— I don’t like driving.

Если `like’ не означает `enjoy’, употребляется `I like to do’. I like to do something = Я считаю, что сделать что-то будет правильным:

— I like to wash my hair twice a week.

— Tom likes to do the washing-up immediately after the meal.

За would like следует to + инфинитив:

— I would like to be rich.

— Would you like to come to a party?

Обратите внимание на различие в значениях между I like и I would like. I would like является вежливым способом сказать I want.

Сравните:

— I like playing tennis.

— I would like to play tennis today.

Можно использовать to + инфинитив также после would love/ hate/ prefer:

— Would you prefer to have dinner now or later?

— I’d love to be able to travel round the world.

Можно также сказать `I would like to have done something’ :

— It’s a pity we didn’t visit Tom. I would like to have seen him again.

— We’d like to have gone on holiday but we didn’t have enough money.

Аналогичная конструкция возможна после would love/ hate/ prefer:

— Poor old Tom! I would hate to have been in his position.

— I’d love to have gone to the party but it was impossible.
