would rather 的用法

Answer 1

1、would rather后接动词原形，常省略为’d rather，表示优先选择的一种方式其否定形式是would rather not do sth。

2、would rather+从句，是一个常用的虚拟语气句型Would rather+从句，谓语一般用过去时来表示现在或将来。其意为“宁愿……，还是……好些”“一个人宁愿另一个人做某事”。引导从句的that常省略。在谈到过去的动作时，谓语则用过去完成时。

3、would rather没有人称和数的变化，所有的人称一律用would rather。“would rather+动词原形”是英语中常见的一个惯用句式，美国英语中多用had rather。would (had)在此决无“过去”之意，它是一个情态助动词，且无词性、时态变化。

rather 读法 英 [ˈrɑːðə(r)]  美 [ˈræðər] 

1、adv. 宁可，宁愿；相当；准确地说；或多或少地

2、conj. 而不是

3、int. 当然啦（回答问题时用）

词汇搭配：

1、Would rather stay at home宁愿呆在家

2、would rather do than do宁愿…而不愿

词义辨析：

quite, rather, pretty, fairly这组词都有“相当，颇”的意思，其区别是：

1、quite 含义比fairly稍强，与不定冠词连用时，一般放在不定冠词之前。

2、rather 语气比quite强，褒义贬义无可使用。可与too和比较级连用。

3、pretty 用法与rather相似。常用于非正式文体。

4、fairly 语意最弱，多用于褒义，表示适度地、尚可的意思。不可与too或比较级连用。

would rather主要用来表示“宁愿；宁可”，它有两种用法：不带从句和带从句。
（一）当不带从句时
1、此时，would rather直接后接动词原形，如：
正确：We’d rather go on Monday.
错误：We’d rather to go … or We’d rather going …
2、其否定形式为直接在would rather后接not，如：
I’d rather not fly. I hate planes.
3、当我们要表达过去发生的事情时，我们会采用would rather have done的用法，此时的用法其实是虚拟语气，往往表达与事实相反或不符的情况。如：
She would rather have spent the money on a holiday. (钱没有花在度假上)
（二）当后接从句时
当后接不同主语的从句时，从句中的谓语动词要采用虚拟语气的用法。如果是对现在或将来情况的描述，从句的谓语动词采用一般过去时的形式；如果是对过去情况的描述，从句的谓语动词采用过去完成时的形式。如：
现在或将来：I would rather they did something about it instead of just talking about it.
现在或将来：Would you rather I wasn’t honest with you?
过去：I’d rather you hadn’t rung me at work.
（三）would much rather
当我们要强调时，会采用would much rather的用法。在口语中，我们会重读much以示强调。如：
I’d much rather make a phone call than send an email.
She’d much rather they didn’t know about what had happened.

Answer 3

1.would rather表示"宁愿"

　would rather do
　would rather not do
　would rather… than…　 宁愿……而不愿。

例:
----Shall we go skating or stay at home?
----Which ___ do?　　　　　
A. do you rather　　B. would you rather　 C. will you rather　 D. should you rather
答案B。本题考查would rather的用法，would rather +do sth 意为"宁愿"，本题为疑问句，would 提前，所以选B。

2.would rather 后接虚拟语气的用法
在would rather后面所跟的从句中，也可用虚拟语气，表示愿望，意为“宁愿”、“但愿”。其形式为：
1 ) " would rather +主语+动词过去式"表示现在或将来的情况。例:
I would rather you went next Sunday．
我愿你下星期天去。
2 ) " would rather +主语+动词过去完成式"表示过去的情况。例：
I'd rather you had not given up the job then.
要是你当时不放弃那个工作就好了。

3.还有would sooner, had rather, had sooner都表示"宁愿"、"宁可"的意思。

　If I have a choice, I had sooner not continue my studies at this school.
　I would rather stay here than go home. = I would stay here rather than go home.
