D painting ;to give
谁来告诉我perfer to do 和prefer doing有毛区别？！快弄疯了！！！

Answer 1

prefer to do 表示一时性的喜欢 prefer doing表示长时间的，一贯性的喜欢 都能表示更喜欢什么
prefer to do 意思是宁愿去做某事，经常和rather than连用，prefer doing意思是更喜欢做某事
I prefer to play computer rather than go out tonight.我宁愿在家玩电脑也不肯出去。
I prefer staying at home to going shopping with my friends.比起和我的朋友去购物，我更喜欢呆在家里。

Answer 2

选A
perfer doing sth. 侧重于指经常性的习惯和爱好
perfer to do 侧重于一次性的某个具体动作
这道题只是强调做一件事，所以用perfer to do, 后面to give 是表示目的。
