have a thing用法

平時如果我們說“某某人對某某人有意思”，這個“意思”是什么意思我們都知道，同樣在上面的對話中，羅斯也明白他父母所說的had a thing for you中的這個a thing指的是什么－－也就是我們所說的“意思”。 在生活中，我們除了會對某個人產生特別的“意思”之外，還會對某件事物心存疙瘩，比如有人不喜歡吃海鮮 “has a thing about seafood.” 有人對坐飛機感到十分害怕
“I have a thing about flying in airplanes; it scares me.”
又比如有人沒事老喜歡弄自已的頭發，這時你也可以說 “You have a thing about your hair.” 總之have a thing可以用來表達任何特別的感覺，如果是對人的話就用介詞for (have a thing for sb), 對事物就用介詞about (have a thing about sth.)。
