fa“vorer n
fa“voringly adv

When a Southerner favors a relative, he or she is not giving that person special privileges; rather, the Southerner looks like that relative. Favorcan be either transitive— She favors her father— or intransitive with a compound subject:
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：
She and her father favor.This sense of favor goes back to early modern English:
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：
“This young lord Chamont/Favors my mother”(Ben Jonson). The verb derives from the noun favor,which was used from the 15th to the 19th century to mean “appearance, aspect; the countenance, face”:
“这个年轻的贵族像我妈妈”（本·杰森）。这动词来源于名词 favor，在15世纪到19世纪被作为“外貌，样子；面貌，脸部”的意思用：
“What makes thy favor like the bloodless head/Fall'n on the block?”(Tennyson). This sense of the noun is now archaic, but the verb thrives in the English of the Southern United States.
“什么使你的脸毫无血色，脑袋耷拉下来?”（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
