He likes that hecan always borrow money from his friends.
请问这个句子对吗?
我感觉这个句子是对的,但非常不普通。like是及物动词,需要接宾语,当like接从句作宾语时可将从句后置,用虚指的it占据其宾语地方,但接that引导的名词性从句时虚指的it可省略。比如:
She likes that I play the guitar. = She likes thefact that I play the guitar. 她喜欢我弹吉他。《韦氏高阶英汉双解词典》
▲因为状语从句不可以作宾语,所以当like之后接状语从句时,虚指的it不可以省略,从句在形式上是状语,但在语义上却是宾语。比如:
I don't like it when she is unhappy. 我不喜欢她不快乐时的样子。《21世纪英汉汉英双向词典》
【补充】《葛传槼英语惯使用方法词典》也觉得like可以接that从句,但非常不普通。请看该词典所给的例句:
I likethatyou write to me frequently.
如此的表达虽不普通,但确有英美人如此用,请看COCA例句:
They didn't likeit that we came here.
I like it that I don't have to feed animals and milk cows every daytwice.
I like it that humanity has its own unique qualities.
She wasn't astrong girl and he didn't like it that she had towork.
