From the word’s history
From Middle English favour, from Old French favor, from Latin favor 'good will, kindness', from faveō 'to be kind to'.
源自拉丁文 favor「善意、好感」，faveō 是「善待」。
You can think of favour as 'leaning towards someone or something — putting your weight on their side'. From that lean grow three things: of a plan or person (being for them), tilting an advantage their way (so things go better for that side), and doing a kind act because you lean towards helping them. When the leaning is unfair, it becomes showing .
可以把 favour 想成「往某一邊靠過去——把你的重量壓在他那一側」。從這個「偏向」長出三件事：贊成一個計畫或一個人（站在他這邊）、把好處往他那邊傾（讓事情對那一方比較順）、以及因為你偏向幫他而做的一件好事。要是這個偏向偏得不公平，就成了偏心、偏袒。
