老师答疑
沅老师：
▲favour与favouritism 均可表示“偏袒”，均为不可数名词，但 favour 多与 show 搭配使用，而 favouritism 除与动词 show 搭配使用外，也常常单独使用。如：
1. favour 的用例：
They accused you of showing favour to one of the players. 他们指责你偏袒其中的一位球员。
As an examiner, she showed no favour to any candidate. 作为主考人她没有偏袒任何应试者。
The teacher refused to have his daughter in his class for fear of showing favor to her. 老师拒绝把他的女儿放在自己班上，以免表露出对她的偏爱。
2. favouritism 的用例：
Favouritism breeds resentment. 偏袒招致怨恨。
The students accused the teacher of favouritism. 学生指责老师有偏心。
She denied showing favouritism to any of her students. 她否认偏袒任何一个学生。
A parent must be careful not to show favouritism towards any one of their children. 家长必须注意不要偏爱任何一个子女。
▲另外，favour 除用作名词外，还可用作动词，表示“偏袒”。如：
The mother favored her eldest son. 母亲偏袒大儿子。
The treaty seems to favour the US. 这个条约似乎偏向美国。
Demonstrators protested that the tax bill favored the well-to-do. 示威者们抗议征税法案偏袒富人。
Several politicians were accused of dispensing favours to people who voted for them. 几名政客被指责向投票支援他们的人提供好处。
