用法筆記
Commonly takes a prepositional phrase with 'with', 'among', or 'at' to specify the group or context. The opposite is 'out of favor' (no longer liked or supported). This sense is always a predicate — it follows a linking verb like 'be', 'remain', or 'fall' — and cannot come before a noun (*an in favor policy).
