【引伸】
fa.vorern.（名词）
fa.voringlyadv.（副词）<注释>When a Southerner
favors a relative, he or she is not giving that person special privileges;rather, the Southerner looks like that relative.
Favor can be either transitive—
She favors her father — or intransitive with a compound subject: She and her father favor. This sense of
favor goes back to early modern English: .This young lord Chamont/Favors my mother. (Ben Jonson).The verb derives from the noun
favor, which was used from the 5th to the 9th century to mean .appearance, aspect; the countenance, face.: .What makes thy favor like the bloodless head/Fall`n on the blockô. (Tennyson).This sense of the noun is now archaic,but the verb thrives in the English of the Southern United States.当一个南方人
favors 一个亲属， 他（或她）不是给这个人特权；而是这个南方人长得像那个亲属。
Favor 可以是及物的——
她像她父亲—— 或不及物的，与复合主语连用： 她和她父亲相象。
Favor 的这种含义可以上溯到早期的现代英语： .这个年轻的贵族像我妈妈. （本·杰森）。这动词来源于名词
favor， 在5世纪到9世纪被作为.外貌，样子；面貌，脸部.的意思用： .什么使你的脸毫无血色，脑袋耷拉下来ô. （坦尼森）。名词的这一用法现在已经陈旧了，但动词仍在美国南部英语中流行注释>
