覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
ここでは動詞 dislike「嫌う」の三人称単数現在形で、主語が he、she、the child などのときに -s が付きます。語末の /k/ は無声音なので -s は /s/ と発音します。dislikes loud music のように、単なる無関心ではなく「好みに合わない」対象を直後に置く形で覚えましょう。
Here, “dislikes” is the third-person singular present form of the verb “dislike,” so it is used with subjects such as “he,” “she,” or “the child.” Add -s directly to “dislike”; after the final voiceless /k/ sound, the ending is pronounced /s/. Remember the pattern “someone dislikes something,” as in “She dislikes bitter coffee.” It expresses a negative preference and is usually less intense than “hates.” It can also be followed by an -ing form, as in “dislikes wearing heavy coats.”
例文
He dislikes loud music at night.
彼は夜の大きな音楽が嫌いです。
My sister dislikes bitter coffee.
私の姉は苦いコーヒーが嫌いです。
The child dislikes wearing heavy coats.
その子は重いコートを着るのが嫌いです。

dislikes の語源・成り立ち Etymology
dislikes は dislike の形で、接頭辞 dis-「反対に」+ like「好む」から成ります。like は古英語 lician「気に入る」にさかのぼるので、dislike は『心にかなうの反対』、つまり『嫌う・嫌い』と納得できます。関連語は like、likable です。
“Dislikes” is formed from “dislike” plus the third-person singular ending -s. “Dislike” combines the negative or reversing prefix “dis-” with “like.” The verb “like” goes back to Old English “lician,” meaning to please or be agreeable to someone. The combined form therefore developed the sense of finding someone or something unpleasant or not agreeable.
