Question

likeness n.相像；相似物；样子 (1) 这两个表姐妹非常相像。(2) 这两兄弟仅外表相似，本性却很不一样。(3) 他是个伪装成朋友的敌人。 Likeness has nothing to do with liking someone or something––it’s all about what something looks like. It’s been in use since before the 12th century, when likenesses had to be drawn or painted, rather than snapped with a digital camera. If the only picture you had of your mom was one your brother drew, you would value it more if it was a good likeness, meaning it really looked “like” her.
