In this paper, I draw attention to comparative preference claims, i.e. sentences of the form \(\ulcorner \)S prefers p to q\(\urcorner \). I show that preference claims exhibit interesting patterns, and try to develop a semantics that captures them. Then I use my account of preference to provide an analysis of desire. The resulting entry for desire ascriptions is independently motivated, and finds support from a wide range of phenomena.

关于偏爱

在本文中，我提请注意比较偏好声明，即形式为\(\ulcorner \) S 比 q \(\urcorner \)更喜欢 p 的句子。我展示了偏好声明表现出有趣的模式，并尝试开发一种捕捉它们的语义。然后我使用我的偏好来提供对欲望的分析。由此产生的欲望归因条目是独立动机的，并从广泛的现象中找到支持。
