wouldratherthan和preferto有什么区别

Answer 1

关于would rather than和prefer to有什么区别的问题简单回答一下，希望可以帮助到你。
简单来说：prefer A to B 接的是名词或动名词，would rather do A than do B 接的是动词
详细的说的话，在英语中,表示“偏爱”、“优先”、“更喜欢”、“更可取”或“宁愿”等意思时,可用prefer,would rather和rather
than来表达.三个词之间在表达和用法上的异同如下：

(—)rather than

①rather than必须连接两个平行结构,即并联两个词(如名词、代词),两个动词不定式或并联两个短语或分句.
如：John ought to go rather than Mary.约翰比玛丽更应该去.

②当rather than并联两个动词不定式时,后一个动词不定式一般省略to(在比较正式的文体中也可以保留to).

如：In China,it is important to invest in education rather than(to)increase
personal wages.在中国,优先投资教育比增加个人工资重要.

(二)prefer

①prefer之后用动名词结构表示一般性偏爱,强调一种事实或一件事.

如：l like swimming,but I prefer sailing.我喜欢游泳,但更喜欢航行.

②当prefer之后带两个动词不定式表示“偏爱…胜过…”时,用rather than连接.Rather
than之后可以有两种结构：省略to的动词不定式和动词的ing形式.

如：1 would prefer to spend the weekend at home rather than drive
out.我宁愿在家度周末,而不愿意开车出门.

③当prefer之后带两个名词或动名词结构表示“偏爱…胜过…”时,常用介词to连接两个部分,也可以用rather than连接.

如：I prefer watching TV to reading books.我宁可看电视,也不愿意看书.

④prefer之后可以用动词不定式作宾语补足语.

如：I don’t prefer people to smoke here.我不喜欢有人在这儿抽烟.

⑤prefer之后带从句时,其用法与would rather带从句的用法相同.

如：I’d prefer that you did not go there alone.我希望你不要一个人到那里去.

(三)would rather

①would rather是固定习惯用语,可用于任何人称,其简略形式是 ’d rather.would
rather之后直接带省略to的动词不定式.

如：Would you rather stay at home or go out with me?你愿意呆在家里,还是愿意跟我出门?

②would rather还可以与than连用,构成“would rather+省略to的不定式+than+省略to的不定式”结构.

如：Tom would rather read than talk.=Tom prefers reading to
talking.汤姆喜爱读书胜过与人交谈.

③would rather之后带从句时,从句中的谓语动词用虚拟语气,即用过去式表示现在或将来的意义,用过去完成式表示过去的意义.

如：I’d rather she had repaired her car last night.=I wish she had repaired her
car last night.但愿她昨晚就把车修好了.

④一般来说.would
rather之后跟动词原形表达的意思是“偏爱,宁愿”,但如果其后跟动词hope,think,like,enjoy和have等时,would
rather则含有“很,非常”的意思。
