childlike 和 childish 怎么区别呢？

1. 若是客观上针对小孩而言，指“孩子的，适合于孩子的，孩子特有的”等，用childish而不用 childlike。如：

那是儿童游戏。

误：It’s a childlike game.

正：It’s a childish game.

2. 若不是针对孩子而是针对大人而言，指大人具有小孩的特点品质等，两者都可用，但 childish 通常带有贬义，指幼稚、傻气、任性等，如：

Don’t be so childish.

Her childish remark embarrassed everyone.

My dear child, you’re being childish.

To act like that is childish.

而childlike 通常带有褒义，指天真、正直、坦率等，如：

He couldn’t help smiling at her childlike frankness.

He felt an almost childlike wonder at the beauty of the forest.

Tears came to his eyes as he remembered her childlike look.
