I am like this animal because I am strong and intelligent. Be like=look like=be similar to 像,看起来像。如: He is like his father。他像他的父亲。 = He looks like his father. = He is similar to his father. 这里的like作介词,意思为“像”,like 还可做动词用,表示“喜欢”,like(doing) sth.喜欢做某事。如: He likes his father very much. 他很喜欢他的父亲。 Mary likes playing volleyball. 玛丽喜欢打排球。 2.

This elephant is 1000 pounds heavy./This elephant weighs 1000 pounds.  这头象重1000吨。 3….they weigh about 1,000 pounds, ……他们大约重1000磅。 Weigh 称……重量,测……重量。如: He weighed the stone in his hand. 他用手掂了掂这块石头的重量。 The piece of meat weighs four pounds. 这块肉重四磅。 Weight 还可用做名词,重量。如: What is your weight? 你的体重是多少? 4.
