嫌 to dislike

嫌 is a verb meaning " dislike; complain of; be dissatisfied at". It is usually followed by a clause.  For example, 

  • 她常常嫌菜不好吃。She always complains of the food.
  • 大家都他脾气太急。Everybody disliked him because of his hot temper.
  • 你真好,不嫌麻烦地来帮助我。It's very kind of you to take the trouble to help me.
  • 儿不嫌母丑,狗不嫌家贫。A son never thinks his mother ugly, and a dog never shuns its owner’s home however shabby it is. This proverb reminds us never to despise those nearest and dearest to us , no matter how plain and insignificant they are.

Please filling in the blanks:
  1. 他嫌__________太贵了。
  2. 他嫌__________人太多。
  3. 他嫌__________浪费时间。
  4. 他嫌__________浪费能源。
  5. 他嫌__________太麻烦。
  6. 他嫌__________不方便。
