用法筆記
The object is nearly always an activity, hobby, food, or type of thing — never a person. Unlike sense 1 (WARM AFFECTION), this sense describes a habitual or repeated enjoyment rather than a relationship-based emotional bond. Often interchangeable with 'liking' but suggests a stronger, more established preference.
